The Iris is more than a building; it’s a gateway to stability and opportunity in one of Los Angeles' most expensive areas. As our partner Affirmed Housing describes—The Iris brings much-needed affordable housing west of the 405, combining higher density with a design that respects the neighborhood. With community spaces, on-site services and a rooftop deck overlooking LA, this project is designed to help residents not only transition into permanent housing but truly thrive. We’re honored to be part of this meaningful project. Watch the video to hear more from Jim Williams and other key players and see how The Iris is making a difference. #AffordableHousing #CommunityImpact #BSBDesign #DesignThatMakesADifference

We recently designed an innovative cottage-style build to rent neighborhood aimed at addressing Nebraska's housing shortage. This project rethinks traditional rental housing, offering detached cottages that combine affordability with a sense of community. It's a creative approach to meet the growing demand for housing while maintaining a neighborhood feel.

BSB Design is proud to have partnered with Pearl Homes to create resilient, sustainable homes designed to protect residents during unpredictable times like Hurricane Milton. Together, we’re showing that great design isn’t just about style—it’s about building security and peace of mind. #BSBDesign #DesignThatMakesADifference #NetZeroHomes
USGBC extends our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the recent severe weather. These events underscore the importance of our efforts to create more resilient and sustainable buildings. The Hunters Point Pearl Homes and Marina is a model of resilience, having weathered Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Through #LEED, this net zero single-family home development exemplifies climate resilience and sustainability. https://cnn.it/407Ncx7
