The Catalog / Altadena

The Catalog: Altadena

These designs are approved for use in fire-affected areas of Altadena within unincorporated Los Angeles County and in the City of Pasadena.

The Foothill Catalog was developed to preserve the local character of Altadena and support homeowners with a streamlined option for rebuilding. It evolved through conversations with the community and partnerships between architects, engineers, builders, and local government. Each design is based on a historical style that reflects the neighborhood's architectural heritage. Collectively, the Catalog offers an eclectic mix of options to support a diverse pathway to rebuilding.

All Foothill Catalog designs meet Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone requirements. This means the homes use ignition-resistant construction, including non-combustible exterior materials, ember-resistant vents, and Class A fire-rated roofing. Windows, eaves, and decks are also designed to reduce the risk of ignition from wind-blown embers. These measures help safeguard your home and increase resilience.

Please note - until a home is marked as “Pre-approved,” the design and floorplan may be subject to slight changes and modifications.
