Based on the founding partners’ work experiences and education in Germany, one of the leading nations in sustainable architecture and Passive House construction, PARAVANT is keenly aware of the need for an environmentally conscious approach.
We design our buildings to the international Passive House construction standard and encourage our clients to commission low operational and embedded carbon buildings to make responsible decisions for future generations.
This project is a remodel of an existing single-family home which had a typical compartmentalized floor plan with small dark rooms. The residential remodel by PARAVANT Architects opened up the floor plan, introduced a new central courtyard offering now a true Southern California indoor & outdoor living experience bringing light & air into each single space of this house in San Pedro, CA.
