What do you need more room for?
An ADU and a room addition solve different problems. We start by looking at your property, what you need, and what will make sense for the home.
ADUs
We plan detached ADUs, attached ADUs, and conversions, then prepare the drawings for permit review.
Room additions
More space should feel like it was always part of the house. We plan the layout around how you actually use your home.
A small home still needs a good plan.
We look at privacy, the entrance, the yard, and how the ADU will sit next to the main house.
ADU patio and pergola · Yard Design 3D view
Plan the rooms around real life.
Before we draw the plans, we talk through how the new space should look, feel, and work day to day.
Outdoor planning
We also plan pools, patios, decks, retaining walls, balconies, and the permit details that go with them.
From the first sketch to permits.

A look at our work.
We use 3D views to work through the layout, materials, light, and how each space connects to the rest of the property.
How it works
01 · Talk it through
We start with what you want to build, what the property allows, and which approvals you may need.
From an idea to a permit.
02 · Work out the design
We plan how the new space will function and how it will fit with the existing home.
03 · Draw the plans
Once the direction feels right, we turn it into a clear set of drawings for the next step.
04 · Handle the permit process
We help with the submittal and respond to comments from the city along the way.
A good idea still has to get approved.
We don’t stop at the design. We prepare clear drawings, check the local requirements, and help move the project through city review.
