An accessory dwelling unit is one of the most practical ways to add living space, rental income, or room for family on a property you already own. We have been designing and permitting ADUs since 2017, and as an established accessory dwelling unit designer working across Los Angeles County, we have completed hundreds of these projects.

Our ADU design services cover the full path, from a first read on what your lot allows through permit-ready construction documents. Because we work as your ADU designer from feasibility onward, we identify the setbacks, height limits, parking exemptions, and utility requirements that shape your unit before design commits.

We are based in Pasadena, and from there we design and permit ADUs throughout the surrounding foothill and San Gabriel Valley communities, and out across the wider county, so the local rules of your city are ones we work in regularly rather than learn for the first time.

Good garage conversion design starts with an honest look at what is already standing. We document the existing structure, evaluate it against current code, and prepare plans that specify exactly what has to change for the conversion to pass.

That same discipline runs through all of our ADU services: we diagnose the parcel first, design to the review standard, and organize the drawing set to answer the questions a plan checker will actually ask.

Our inspector-led approach comes from real familiarity with how building departments across the county apply the code, because our principal spends part of every week reviewing buildings as a working inspector, and that familiarity spans the individual cities we serve around Pasadena, each with its own review quirks.

If an ADU cannot work on your lot, we tell you before drawings are produced. Contact us for a free initial consultation and a clear read on your property.
