Fire-Resistant Home Protects Family from Wildfires
Ardie Tavangarian, a luxury developer, built a fire-resistant home called Versa Villa in Pacific Palisades after the Palisades fire. This four-thousand-square-foot prototype features heavy steel framing, super-thick fireproof walls, stone cladding, heat-resistant glass windows, automated metal shutters, and a fortified door. Despite initial high insurance quotes, Tavangarian managed to reduce the annual cost to thirteen thousand dollars after an inspection. The home exceeds Californias new fire codes with twenty thousand gallon water tanks, fire retardant reserves, and a full sprinkler system. Powered by solar panels, Tesla batteries, and two Starlink connections, the home aims to be affordable at around six hundred fifty to seven hundred fifty dollars per square foot.
