California Building Designers
Any structural changes to your home—whether a new build, additions, or remodel—require an approved set of drawings in California. Our expert team of building designers provides complete floor plan drafting, design, and permitting services, managing every project—from small granny flats to multi-family dwellings and large commercial builds—with responsibility, attention to detail and endless inspiration.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Offering versatile ADU solutions across California, we design floor plans for secondary dwelling units tailored to diverse needs. Whether you need granny flats to provide aging family members with their own comfortable space, in-law suites to keep extended family close, a guest house for friends, or a backyard cottage for additional rental income, we provide detailed, functional designs.
Attached ADU
Seamlessly extend your home with an integrated living space that connects directly to your existing home or garage structure, providing convenience and flexibility without compromising your yard.
Detached ADU
Create a separate housing in your backyard with a DADU house that offers a private area ideal for various uses—guests, rental income, or a home office—while boosting your property’s overall value.
Junior ADU
Transform part of your home into a Junior ADU, featuring a self-contained unit that offers a private dwelling within your existing structure. Perfect for guests or rental income.
Garage ADU
Turn your garage into a functional living space. We’ll bring to life any of your design ideas and transform a detached/attached 1-2-3 cars garage into a bedroom, kitchen, office, gym, game room or even man cave.
Basement ADU
Unlock the potential of your basement by converting it into an inviting in-law suite. This conversion enhances your home’s functionality while providing a private space for family or guests.
2nd-story Addition
Enhance your property by adding a second story to your house or garage, creating a living area without sacrificing outdoor areas. This partial expansion is ideal for extra bedrooms or a home office.
