In a dramatic turn of events, the Kirsten Dirksen team found themselves in the midst of the Palisades fire, prompting a swift evacuation to safety. With a house boasting vulnerable wood siding, they took proactive measures, setting up sprinklers to protect their abode. The harrowing experience shed light on the critical need for homes that can stand strong against nature's fury. Enter the team's steel structure home, a fortress against fire, termites, and even earthquakes - a true bastion of resilience in a world plagued by disasters.

Venturing into their 80,000 sq ft factory, the team is on a mission to revolutionize the way homes are built. Through meticulous welding and a relentless pursuit of innovation, they aim to craft not just houses, but feats of engineering marvel. The kitchen, a hub of activity, showcases a blend of standard functionality and customizable options, catering to the diverse needs of homeowners. The integration of MEP systems within factory-built panels ensures seamless efficiency, setting a new standard in home construction.

Step inside their steel sanctuary, and you're greeted by lofty 9-foot ceilings and grand, towering doors that redefine spatial dynamics. Custom windows flood the interiors with natural light, while clever storage solutions in the bedroom demonstrate a keen eye for practical design. The sliding door, complete with a bug screen and a whimsical soft close feature, encapsulates the team's attention to detail and commitment to a seamless living experience. Through a holistic approach to home building, where every element is meticulously designed to work in harmony, the team is not just constructing houses - they're crafting homes that stand as testaments to precision and innovation.
