A house on E Altadena Drive, photographed from the first day on the lot through to the finished rooms. A complete ground-up fire rebuild: site clearance, excavation, foundation, framing, roof and finish.

Every stage is documented as we put this Altadena home back, one phase at a time.

Setting out. The lot surveyed before anything is moved.

Cleared and graded, ready for the foundation.

Excavation underway.

Foundation trenches dug and the lines checked on site.

The slab poured and screeded off.

Two storeys framed, and the shape of the house is back on the lot.

Roof framing lifted into place.

Interior framing, openings cut.

Closed in and nearly finished outside, scaffold still standing.

Inside, near the end, with the kitchen and living space taking their final form.
