Where We Work

Design 1 Studio prepares permit plans for ADUs, additions, second stories, remodels and custom homes across Los Angeles County and Orange County, working from Pasadena and Monrovia. Every city sets its own zoning rules, applies state ADU law in its own way and runs its own plan check, so the same project can follow a different path one city over.

The pages below cover the cities where we work most often, with the local rules worth knowing before design starts, such as hillside limits, historic districts and design review. Since 2015 we have completed 1,500+ projects across the region. Find your city below, or call (626) 214-8651 if you do not see it.
