JTD Promoting Fire Resilient Rebuild in Pacific Palisades

In a recent news segment covering post-fire rebuilding efforts in Pacific Palisades, JTD Architects’ founder Janek Dombrowa appears briefly, but the story behind the moment runs deeper. JTD was instrumental in organizing and promoting the ICCF (Interlocking Composite Concrete Form) demonstration featured in the piece — an event held in Sunset Mesa to showcase the potential of concrete block construction in fire-prone areas. The demo brought together residents, builders, and sustainability advocates to explore fire-resilient, energy-efficient alternatives to traditional wood framing. For JTD, this wasn’t just a technical exercise — it was part of a broader vision to help communities rebuild smarter, safer, and more sustainably.
