Problem
Wildfires, earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes cause extensive damage to conventional homes, which are typically not engineered to withstand multiple climate-related hazards. Homeowners face significant safety risks and financial losses when their residences are destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by extreme weather events and seismic activity.
Solution
Tesseract constructs housing using the Kohala Homes engineered building system, a pre-engineered approach that enables rapid assembly of fire- and earthquake-resilient homes in approximately six months. The homes feature structural steel frames for earthquake safety, are certified to withstand 150+ mph winds, and include active fire-suppression systems and defensible perimeters to protect against wildfires. Customizable floorplans and finishes allow buyers to design without limits, while integrated solar energy options support energy independence. The company's comprehensive approach addresses multiple climate threats in a single, luxurious residential package.
Target Audience
Primary customers are homeowners and property developers seeking new construction or redevelopment of residences in wildfire-, earthquake-, hurricane-, or flood-prone regions. The offering also targets developers requiring a scalable, code-compliant building system with rapid deployment timelines.
