Our story

Why we only do ADUs.

Most architecture firms treat backyard homes as a side project, squeezed between bigger commissions. We do the opposite. ADUs are the whole practice, which means we know the [Your City] zoning code, the setback math, and the permit counter staff by name.

We stayed small on purpose. When you email us, the principal reads it. When the city kicks back a revision, the person who drew the sheet handles it. That's why 100% of the sets we've submitted have been approved, and why the average project lands in 14 months from first call to keys.

"They told us up front what it would cost. The number we paid was the number we were quoted. That alone made them worth it."

"Our feasibility report saved us six months of figuring out it wasn't going to fit. They told us within two weeks, for $1,500, what we needed to know."

"Our garage became a real 2-bedroom for my mom. The whole project took 14 months. They handled the city paperwork better than we ever could have."
