Josh’s Story

Los Angeles native Josh Jennings set out to build his dream cabin in Big Bear, purchasing a lot and selecting off-the-shelf plans—only to discover that constructing a home in an active fire and snow zone required expert guidance.

West stepped in to navigate the challenges, transforming his vision into Moonridge, a 1,600-square-foot mountain retreat that seamlessly integrates Passive House principles with the warmth and charm of a cozy getaway.

Designed for both durability and energy efficiency, the home not only stands up to the elements but also offers strong rental income potential. In this video, see how West helped Josh escape a permitting nightmare and bring his dream to life.
