COMPRESSED EARTH+MULTIFAMILY
TBE Architecture is working with Brian Jaffee of the California Cottage Company and Verdant Structural Engineers to prototype a multifamily development template utilizing Senate Bill 9 (SB9) – The California Home Act and Senate Bill 8 (SB8) – the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 to develop projects on existing lots that include a duplex with 2 ADUs that then can be eligible for a lot split. Another notable innovation that Brian is bringing to the project is Compressed Earth Blocks (CEBs). Brian manufactures the blocks locally at the companies’ facility in Rohnert Park.
