We believe homes should prioritize you, the occupant, and your well-being. Our homes provide you with an abundance of natural light and air, views of plant life, access to private outdoor spaces, filtered water at every fixture, and natural finishes that reconnect you with nature while promoting a clean indoor air environment.
We believe homes can be produced with a small carbon footprint and operate in collaboration with the planet. Our homes are 100% electric, powered largely by solar energy, and our landscaping is native and drought tolerant, irrigated by our extensive rainwater capture systems. Our materials consist of recycled components and are themselves recyclable, and our unique approach to construction sharply reduces waste.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live happily and sustainably. Through our innovative approach to housing supply (powered by SuperOS™), we strive to make human and environmentally friendly living more accessible and affordable for all. While solving for such a complex problem won’t happen overnight; we are energized and focused on our systems, which will enable us to achieve this goal in the long term.
At SuperLA® we are on a mission to help everyone live better and happier lives by reinvigorating the environment around them.
Learn MoreA ridiculous amount of light + air.
A key step toward reconnecting with nature is being able to see nature. SuperLA® homes feature expansive windows and glazed doors that provide an abundance of natural light and air into each home. Access to sunlight inside your home allows your body to follow the natural circadian rhythm, which is said to improve sleep quality, energy, and mood.
Exposed mass-timber.
Our projects prioritize the use of mass-timber elements such as Cross-Laminated Timber (“CLT”) and Glue-Laminated Timber (“Glulam”).
Mass-timber components are durable and better for the environment, while also bringing nature into all of our homes when left exposed. (That's not a veneer...)
We believe that sustainably forested mass-timber construction will play a large role in the future of environmentally friendly housing. That’s why we’ve taken the lead on making the Bungalows on Marathon the first completed mass-timber multifamily housing project in Southern California.
Filtered air + water.
While our city agencies work to provide clean drinking water to our homes, these agencies still heavily “treat” the water with chemicals in order to fight contaminants that exist in the underground piping system. As a result, water that comes from the city’s main often contain more disinfectants than the average swimming pool, among thousands of other contaminants.
To combat this, we have installed a building wide water treatment system with multiple carbon filtration tanks and UV sanitizers to filter down levels of disinfectant chemicals, PFAS and bacteria so that you can have access to significantly cleaner water at every fixture.
In addition to selecting materials that are Low VOC/off-gassing, we have also installed MERV-13 air filters in all homes to further improve your indoor air environment.
100% electric.
We are all in on an all-electric future, which is why our homes + buildings are 100% powered by electricity and free of all gas/fossil-fuel powered equipment.
Electrifying our homes is better for the present and future of our planet, while also protecting the quality of your indoor air environment. This means no harmful gases pour into your home, every time you cook or turn on your hot water.
Atriums, gardens+ large private terraces.
Our homes are designed to seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor spaces, with large private terraces, atriums, and garden spaces that expand your living area.
In addition to private outdoor space, our homes + buildings are filled with flora that bring nature to your doorstep, and we have thoughtfully incorporated common garden areas in our multifamily housing to provide more inviting spaces for gathering and reconnecting with nature.
We have consolidated our team to streamline permitting, development, construction and management processes under one roof.
We design our homes (and to an extent, our buildings) as set products that we repeat across multiple project sites.
We fabricate building components in a controlled environment and ship them to our sites for assembly.
We have focused on partnering with brands who have a similar environmental and human-centered mission, helping to ensure that all materials are durable, quiet, safe, and planet-friendly.
