Los Angeles is MCTIGUE’s home. We grieve with everyone affected by the destruction caused by the Palisades and Eaton fires, the worst LA county has ever seen. People displaced. Places decimated — whole neighborhoods, business districts, and loved ones — gone. Our homes, communities, and ecosystem ravaged.
The challenges ahead will be tough, requiring whole-community support to rebuild.
But there is also an opportunity. An opportunity to heal, and, in doing so, to re-create place in a way that has never existed before. Accomplishing this will require responsible, honest, dedicated experts of integrity to help steer the process — one that enriches human existence, nurtures all life, and sustains people, place, and planet.
We are in this together. We ourselves have lost our own headquarters, but we know what it is to rebuild from this devastation — including from the Wolsey Fire in 2018. Resilience design for individuals and businesses, including fire resistant modular design, is a built-in part of our process.
Information and the required steps to rebuild will change frequently. But MCTIGUE’s extensive team and trusted partners are prepared to serve as an informed resource. To us, architecture has always been a single act, made possible by many, and in this case it will be even moreso.
From architects, planners and engineers, to code consultants, permit expediters, builders and more, this one-stop shop is built to be a robust collaborative resource for us all.
Here are some resources that may be of immediate help. Please keep checking back, as we will continue to add more links as we discover and connect with them.
NOTE: These steps will continue to evolve and change as new developments arise and we learn more about them. Please continue to check back and stay in touch.
Los Angeles is MCTIGUE’s home. Designing and building is our passion and our expertise. Let’s work together to rebuild!
