SUMMARY:COTE Tour of Bevyhouse
DESCRIPTION:    \n  \n1 LU  \nRefreshments provided \n\nAbout the Event \nFrom Bevyhouse: \n“During the tour\, we’ll walk through how our system works in practice—from early design considerations and modular planning\, to fabrication\, delivery\, and installation. We’ll also touch on how we collaborate with architects\, coordinate site and factory work simultaneously\, and navigate projects in complex environments. \nOur goal is to create a more aligned process between design and construction—so projects can be delivered with greater clarity\, efficiency\, and confidence.” \nAbout Bevyhouse \nThe traditional homebuilding process is often defined by long timelines\, cost uncertainty\, and fragmented coordination between design and construction. At Bevyhouse\, we’re exploring a different approach—one that integrates design\, engineering\, and construction through a custom modular framework. \nOur work combines fully custom home design with the efficiencies of prefabrication. By shifting a significant portion of construction into a controlled factory environment\, we’re able to improve build quality\, reduce variability\, and compress project timelines—while still allowing for a high degree of architectural flexibility and personalization. As part of our standard construction\, all homes are built to meet California Residential Building Code and WUI requirements. \nRegister for the event!

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Built for a lifetime\, Permalock Aluminum Shingles
DESCRIPTION: \n  \nJune 24th | 12PM – 1PM | AIASB Chapter House \n1 LU Pending \nLunch provided! No charge for members \n\nLunch & Learn: Built to last a lifetime\, Permalock Aluminum Shingles\nAbout \nJoin AIA Santa Barbara for an upcoming Lunch and Learn introducing Permalock Aluminum Shingles — an innovative roofing solution that combines the classic aesthetic of slate and wood shingles with the exceptional durability of aluminum. Ideal for coastal environments and projects where standing seam roofs are restricted\, Permalock offers a compelling case for rethinking what a metal roof can look like. \nLearning Objectives \n\nEvaluate the fire-resistance properties of non-combustible aluminum roofing systems and their role in reducing risk in wildfire-prone and coastal environments\, in support of occupant safety and community resilience.\nIdentify the structural safety implications of roofing material weight\, and explain how lightweight aluminum shingle systems — at 40 lbs per 100 sq ft compared to 250 lbs for conventional shingles — reduce dead load and associated risk in building design.\nDescribe the health and environmental benefits of specifying fully recyclable\, non-toxic roofing materials over petroleum-based products\, including the long-term impact on material waste\, air quality\, and occupant well-being.\nApply knowledge of roofing material longevity and thermal performance to make informed specification decisions that support energy efficiency\, reduce urban heat island effects\, and contribute to the long-term safety and habitability of the built environment.\n\nAbout CAP Metal Build \n“Our company was founded on a simple conviction: most roofing systems are designed around replacement cycles\, while metal roofing is designed around longevity. In an industry filled with shortcuts\, misleading warranties\, and temporary solutions\, we have chosen a different path. The world of roofing is crowded with bad actors\, and many homeowners have been conditioned to accept products marketed as “lifetime” systems that often fail long before a true lifetime ever arrives. Even many asphalt shingle manufacturers participate in this culture of misleading expectations. We refuse to. That is why we specialize in true lifetime metal roofing systems — roofs built to protect your home for decades\, and in many cases\, for the rest of your life. At CAP Metal Build\, we do not believe in selling temporary roofing solutions unless there is absolutely no other option. We believe homeowners deserve honesty\, transparency\, and guidance that prioritizes long-term value over short-term convenience. We are roofers first\, not sheet metal workers trying to become roofers. Our team understands roofing systems from the deck up: ventilation\, waterproofing\, flashing\, structural integration\, and the details that determine whether a roof performs beautifully for generations or slowly fails over time. That roofing-first philosophy allows us to install multiple types of metal roofing systems with precision\, craftsmanship\, and attention to detail.” – CAP Metal Build \n\nRegister today!

The discussion will also examine the realities of plan-check and code enforcement\, and how the county is working to close the gap between planning approvals and construction. The evening will close with a look at how transportation and housing strategy are being coordinated across the county’s diverse unincorporated communities — and what it all means for architects and the projects we build. \nDinner and drinks provided. \nRegister for the meeting!

SUMMARY:Emerging Professionals Open House at Michael G. Imber Architects
DESCRIPTION:    \n  \n1 LU  \nRefreshments and food provided \n\nTheir approach to architecture blends an appreciation for rugged\, natural landscapes with an ordered classicism that explores how culture and environment shape the spaces we inhabit. Far from a standard design practice\, Michael G. Imber Architects is driven by a commitment to character\, material quality\, and the belief that architecture should complement and elevate modern life. \nThis is a great opportunity for emerging professionals to connect with the team\, view their portfolio\, and gain insight into a design philosophy that is as thoughtful as it is distinctive. \n“A photograph I once took of a small stone structure along Route 66\, somewhere between Texas and New Mexico\, sits on a shelf above my desk. It reminds me of a man toiling under the vast dome of the Southwestern sky\, a nameless man\, proudly placing one crooked stone upon another\, until finally he could look with pride upon the simple\, yet beautiful\, building he had made. His life now long passed\, he has left us with a gift\, a small piece of our cultural landscape along a lonely\, wind-blown stretch of highway. \nOur buildings are influenced by all those who shape them. They embody the knowledge\, pride\, and passion of the carpenter\, mason\, and ironsmith. The buildings they build are a testament to their art and their sense of beauty\, and it is their hand that remains long after they are gone. As with the long-lost soul who built the stone building along Route 66\, the buildings we are left with embody their lives and spirit — a gift greater than any.” \n–Michaelgimber.com \nReserve your spot!
