Danielian Associates

John Danielian, Managing Principal of Danielian Associates; Cassie Cherry, Director of Marketing for Danielian Associates; and Michael Medick, a registered architect and urban planner with KTGY Architecture + Planning, will be speaking Tuesday, January 10 at the 2017 National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, Florida.

The BIA of Southern California (BIASC) members will be discussing affordable housing options for millennial buyers, inter-generational households, and move-down buyers across the country.

The advanced session, titled “Attaining Affordable Housing with Unique Density Solutions” will offer “’beyond the box’ design and density solutions that make housing affordable and prove that amazing designs don't always need to come with a steep price tag.

This session will also focus on the ‘missing middle’ types of housing, including varying densities, compatible forms, blended neighborhoods and integration of shared community spaces—all of which are used to create vibrant neighborhoods that are sought after by all generations.”

The 2017 NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) will take place January 10 through 12 displaying 565,000 net square feet of exhibits and more than 1,400 manufacturers and suppliers of the latest and most in-demand products and services. NAHB IBS is the largest annual light construction show in the world, every year attracting more than 60,000 visitors from 100 countries.

Participants for the “Attaining Affordable Housing with Unique Density Solutions” session must be registered for a full registration package or a 1-day education with expo pass package valid for the day of the session they wish to attend.

The Building Industry Association of Southern California’s (BIASC) Danielian Associates, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, and Peninsula Publishing were highlighted in Builder and Developer Magazine for their involvement in the ABC Green Home series.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the third installment of the ABC Green Home series, the ABC Green Home 3.0, kicked off in Fullerton, CA. The three energy-efficient – one also multi-generational – Net-Zero homes, were designed by Danielian Associates, built by Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, developed by Peninsula Publishing, and had plentiful materials donated by benevolent manufacturers.

“Our members are bound by law to build Net-Zero homes by 2020, The ABC Green Home Project gives voice to their commitment to sustainable home building here in California,” said BIA of Orange County (BIAOC) Executive Director, Mike Balsamo, who attended the groundbreaking.

Also amongst the attendees were Sharon Ellis, CEO of Habitat for Humanity; representatives from the home’s sponsors that included Southern California Edison, SoCalGas, and Gouvis Engineering; a representative from the U.S. Army; project architects from Danielian Associates; the city Council and Mayor of the City of Fullerton, Jennifer Fitzgerald; and ABC 3.0 Developer Nick Slevin, publisher of Builder and Developer and Green Home Builder magazines.

Mayor Fitzgerald reflected that the City of Fullerton is “partnering on these high performance homes as they’re the best example for the market: showcasing best practices with the best organizers, the best design and support partners, with the extra element of assistance to a veteran family. It really doesn’t get any better than this.” As the granddaughter of a WWII Purple Heart veteran, the veteran assistance aspect of the project is obviously very near and dear to her heart, as it is with anyone involved in the project.
