Case Study: Adapt

Ten of Los Angeles’ leading architecture firms have united to redefine residential design for a changing climate. Blending resilience, affordability, and architectural beauty, Case Study: Adapt introduces a bold new vision for West Coast living. Our homes are thoughtfully designed under 3,000 square feet, surrounded by fire-safe landscaping—challenging the idea that bigger means better, and proving that innovation, sustainability, and livability can coexist. Each architect has been paired with one to two families who lost their homes to wildfire in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena —16 families in total—with construction underway. Architectural Digest is following the full journey, from inception, to design release, through completion, bringing global attention to this pioneering effort. Case Study: Adapt is a nonprofit initiative co-founded by Leo Seigal and Dustin Bramell, in partnership with the Eames Foundation.
