Structure Home

Fiske Residence | Pacific Palisades

There's a moment in every project that no rendering can fully capture. It's the first time our clients walk into the actual framing and feel the home for what it is. The ceiling heights. The light at a given hour. The way one room opens into the next.

That happened this week at Fiske.

We walked the home at rough framing alongside our clients and the team from JZMK Partners, moving through the spaces as designed and making sure the experience matches the intent. We confirmed the exterior palette using live samples on site, held against real daylight rather than a screen. And we used the walk to explore where this modern, open home could be elevated even further to fit the way our clients want to live in it.

This is the kind of work that happens long before anyone sees a finished photo. It's where the best decisions get made, and it's why we bring clients into the process this early.

Modern open-concept home. Designed by JZMK Partners. Built and Managed carefully by Structure Home. Kudos to our Project Manager Janel Wright and Superintendent Steven Cole for a smooth organized meeting.

A New Chapter Begins in Brentwood

Structure Home is proud to announce the start of an exciting new project in Brentwood, a complete reimagining of an existing property that will include a new custom home, pool, and landscape design.

What makes this project especially meaningful is that we were brought in during the earliest stages of planning. This is where we believe we provide the greatest value. By collaborating with the client, architects, engineers, landscape designers, and consultants from the beginning, we can help coordinate design development, identify opportunities, solve challenges before they become costly problems, and create a more efficient path from concept to construction.

But this project is about more than building something new.

The homeowners made a conscious decision to prioritize sustainability and community impact by donating materials from the existing home rather than sending them to a landfill. Instead of traditional demolition, this home will be carefully dismantled by hand. Every roof shingle, door, window, cabinet, flooring plank, and framing member will be evaluated for reuse.

Many of these materials, including valuable dimensional lumber that is increasingly difficult and expensive to source, will be salvaged and donated to our friends at Habitat for Humanity, where they can help support future housing projects and families in need.

Why does this matter?

• Reduces thousands of pounds of construction waste from entering local landfills
• Extends the useful life of quality building materials that still have value
• Reduces the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new materials
• Conserves natural resources by reusing existing lumber and building components
• Supports affordable housing initiatives within our communities
• Creates a more responsible and sustainable approach to redevelopment

As builders, we recognize that every project leaves an environmental footprint. While redevelopment is often necessary, thoughtful deconstruction and material recovery allow us to preserve resources, reduce waste, and give quality materials a second life.

We are excited to help guide this project from vision through completion and grateful to work with clients who share our commitment to thoughtful planning, responsible building practices, and giving back to the community.

Building the future doesn't always start with demolition. Sometimes it starts with preserving what still has value.
