As fires become more frequent and intense due to climate change, designing homes in high fire-risk areas requires thoughtful, proactive strategies. At OTO Design, we believe resilient design can offer not only safety but also a path to healing, hope, and renewal.

Building a home near water offers a serene lifestyle but presents unique challenges like saltwater exposure, humidity, strong winds, and flooding. At Lindal and OTO Design with over 60 years of experience, we specialize in designing durable homes in marine climates using passive design principles and climate-responsive strategies. We offer corrosion-resistant materials, elevated foundations, and sustainable building solutions that ensure longevity and comfort. Our expertise helps clients create homes that withstand coastal elements while minimizing environmental impact.
