A fire-resistant concrete house in Malibu – Trancas House, designed by Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects after the original residence was destroyed in the 2018 Woolsey Fire. Rebuilt on the same footprint, the new design features rectangular skylight towers, exposed board-formed concrete, and a layout that frames views of the canyon and ocean while incorporating wildfire-resilient strategies throughout.
