In response to the challenges LA is facing, we are fast-tracking the launch of our new series of sustainable, fire-resilient single-family homes, and new manufacturing capacity.

Since early 2024, we’ve been developing a fire-resistant single-family home designed to exceed California’s strictest fire codes (WUI), available to select customers, who were affected by wildfires in Northern California. Given the disaster of the Palisades and Eaton fire we are accelerating our launch to help as many as we can.

This summer, we’re launching our first robotic microfactory in Los Angeles to help families rebuild with climate-resilient homes quickly and affordably. Our next-generation construction factory will enable us to create custom, sustainable, and fire-resistant homes at a speed and cost that were once unimaginable.

All Cosmic single-family homes are built with sustainable materials, prioritize owner health and wellness, and are net-zero by design.

We are offering free layouts and designs

As a public benefit company, we are offering custom concept designs for affected properties. Similar design services cost ten’s of thousands or more with traditional architects:

Concept design we offer for free:
Custom site plan with a home design that fits on your property
Floor plans
Estimated project pricing
Estimated timeline for project competition
Solar and battery plan

As part of our Cosmic Foundation initiative we will be sharing more information on how we are planning to support the communities.

Our standard SFH design is compliant with the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) code, strictest building code for fire affected areas.

Here are more details on Cosmic’s fire-resilient design:

Exterior Wall Panel: we offer two options: cement board siding, a non-combustible material carrying ASTM E136 certification, and a deep-charred wood option, rated ASTM E119, with thick fire-resistant thermal insulation underneath..

Roof System: we offer two options: standing seam metal, rated Class A per ASTM E84 (the highest classification for surface burning characteristics) for pitched roofs, and a roof membrane, rated ASTM E108 Class A for flat roofs, with a fire-resistant underlayment.

Windows and Doors: aluminum frames and tempered dual-pane glass. This combination eliminates ignitable exterior materials and ensures the frames maintain their integrity at high temperatures.

Decking: we use certified boards meeting SFM 12-7A-4 standards, designed to resist embers and flames. Their fire-resistant composition ensures durability under extreme heat, reducing the risk of fire spreading.

Interior Drywall: includes Class A-rated (ASTM E84) drywall for walls and ceilings, as well as fire-rated rigid and Rockwool insulation throughout.

Fire Sprinklers: all homes include NFPA 13R fire sprinklers, exceeding the code minimum requirement.

Our projects team works with clients to extend fire-smart thinking beyond the unit itself. This can include guidance on deck design, landscaping choices, and site preparation that align with current best practices in fire safety.
