The Nest

The Nest ┃Rebuilding for the Artistic Community in Altadena

Project Brief: Rebuilding Altadena in Response to the Eaton Fire

The Nest is a resilient artist community space designed for healing and creativity after the Eaton Fire. It provides studios, gathering areas, and self-sufficient systems to support both local artists and the public.

This project gives back what people have lost: not just physical space, but a sense of safety, belonging, and connection. Like a bird’s nest, it’s a place of gathering, shelter, and renewal — where the community can rebuild together through creativity.
