Tansy Residence
Santa Barbara, CA
The Jesusita Fire occurred on May 5, 2009 in the Santa Ynez Mountains above Santa Barbara. This wildfire destroyed 80 homes and damaged 15 more. This project is a replacement residence for one destroyed in this wildfire.
As desired by the owners, the new structure was to be as fire-resistant as any concrete structure. The SCIP panel technology was chosen for its fireproof nature, its natural resistance to insects, pests, and rodents, and its energy efficiency.
Therml-Impac™ Panels as manufactured my Impac International was selected as the SCIP panel product. Johnson Leifield Structural Engineers bypassed the product’s ICC-ES Legacy Report (ER-3509) since it was approved under a prior Building Code, and designed the structure from scratch as a poured-in-place concrete structure. The Santa Barbara Building Department quickly approved this design as being in conformance with the then current 2007 California Building Code.
