Tour: Regenerative Living: Net-Positive Urban Homesteading

Visit the Campbell Collective, a Living Building home and USGBC-CA 2022 Sustainable Innovation Award winner. This 1947 Los Angeles residence underwent a regenerative retrofit to achieve water, energy, and food resiliency. Guests will explore circular systems including solar-powered atmospheric water generation, laundry-to-landscape greywater, rainwater harvesting, and urban food production. Meet the chickens, drink water from air, and sample bites from the garden. After a year-long documentation period, the home earned Zero Energy Certification and three Living Building Challenge petals: Place, Beauty, and Health & Happiness. The tour highlights net-positive water strategies, emissions-reducing solar and heat pump systems, salvaged and Red List-free materials, permaculture-based urban agriculture, composting, beekeeping, and resilience planning for off-grid survival. Led by the project owner, Living Building Challenge consultant, and project team, this tour offers practical inspiration for regenerative design at the residential scale.
