Vivienda
A new two-story house at dusk with warm lights on, wood siding and a family walking up to the front porch

A new home in Los Angeles, made around you.

We’re starting with four houses on one property in [Neighborhood]. Whoever buys each one chooses its floor plan and finishes before we build it.

What you can count on

We want every Vivienda home to be one we would happily live in ourselves. For us that comes down to trust, quality and a reasonable price.

Trust. You see the price line by line and the schedule week by week. Our partners have built more than 160 homes in Los Angeles, and you’re welcome to visit them.

Quality. Each home is built to last for decades and to stand up to fire. It’s finished the way a custom home is, and the city inspects it at every stage.

A reasonable price. Four homes share one property, and the work doesn’t sit waiting for materials. Those savings go into the price.

You choose the floor plan and the finishes

Most new homes are finished in whatever the builder picked. With us, you reserve a home first, then decide how it’s laid out and what goes in it.

Upstairs can be three bedrooms, or two bedrooms and a studio. The room next to the garage can be a guest room or an office. After that come the kitchen, floors, tile, lights and paint, and you see what each choice costs.

How four homes fit on one property

Most Los Angeles properties are long and narrow, about 50 feet across the front and 150 feet back. We place four houses one behind the other, with a shared driveway down the side. Each house has its own front door, a small yard and a garage on the ground floor.

How we find the land

We built our own software, Atlas, to look through every property in Los Angeles and flag the ones where the city already allows four homes. Before we buy, our team visits the property and confirms the details with the city.

Labeled bundles of precut wood and roof beams on a city street, with a crew starting to frame

Built the traditional way, with every piece planned ahead

A Vivienda home goes up on its own foundation. Carpenters frame it, and the same plumbers and electricians who work on any house in the city finish it. The difference is the preparation: before we start, we plan every stud, beam and screw, and the wood is cut to that plan and labeled.

Materials arrive in stages. The framing comes first, then roofing and windows, then the finishes, each delivered as that stage begins. Crews spend their days building instead of waiting on deliveries.

Questions we hear about how we build

Will it last?

Our partners have built more than 160 homes in Los Angeles this way. The oldest are 10 to 15 years old and still look new.

What about fire?

These homes are built with fire-resistant materials. One built the same way in Pacific Palisades was still standing after the January 2025 fire.

Will it look different from the houses around it?

No. It sits on a regular foundation and uses the same materials and trades as a custom home. Neighbors mostly notice how quickly it went up.

Can I buy it with a regular mortgage?

Yes. It’s a permanent house, built to the same codes as the houses around it.

Investing in the first project

We’re raising the money for the first project from accredited investors. The return depends mostly on time, and our approach is built to save it. We buy land where the city already allows four homes, the plans are approved by city staff, the build doesn’t stall waiting for materials, and buyers commit before construction starts.
