Are you interested in building an ADU with a personal and modern touch that is also flexible and ecological? That’s our passion.
Designing fresh ADUs that maximize space and property value
Building an ADU requires a balance between 1) maximizing every square foot 2) managing a small budget and 3) paying attention to the continuous changes of regulation and taxes.
San Diego Garage Remodel is a great example of maximizing space. Every piece of furniture is movable in order to change the space depending on the needs of the couple who lives there. In Encinitas ADU the client had a small budget so we designed an orthogonal geometry with low-cost materials. In La Mesa Granny Flat we intentionally submitted the project the day after traffic fees/taxes were reduced 50%, and the ADU is 749 s.f. to avoid impact fees ($0 for ADUs under 750 s.f.). The client ended up saving a lot of money.
