Beverly Hills & Bel Air
Whole-home transformations and ground-up residential for hillside estates — design-led, engineering-grounded.
Los Angeles
Design-led construction and complex remodels across LA — with feasibility tools grounded in real neighborhoods and honest design trade-offs.
We build across
Design-forward construction throughout LA
From ADU feasibility in Santa Monica to soft-story retrofits in West Hollywood — every project starts with a realistic scope, not a mood board.
Santa Monica & Pacific Palisades
Coastal zone remodels, ADU additions, and full structural upgrades with city-specific permit timelines.
Malibu & Topanga
Hillside and canyon builds with geotech awareness — we surface soils and slope context before final design.
Brentwood & West LA
Premium kitchen, bath, and envelope upgrades for mid-century and contemporary homes requiring precise sequencing.
ADU design-build
LA-specific ADU policy knowledge: detached, attached, and JADUs across all zoning tiers from SB9 to local overlays.
Creative + commercial
Boutique office builds, creative studios, and flagship retail for LA principals who expect residential-grade finish quality.
Work
Project photography
Selected imagery from our active and completed builds — detail studies, architectural moments, and construction documentation.
Process
Design-first means feasibility-first
Beautiful design is only as good as what the permit office and soils report allow. We work with your architect — or connect you with ours — to tie aesthetic intent to budget, code, and schedule before any drawings get too far along.
Pre-design feasibility: zoning envelope, soils context, and city permit timelines before you commission drawings
Architect-friendly: we document trade partner requirements so your design team has real build constraints from week one
LA neighborhood expertise: our team knows which inspectors, permit queues, and local material lead times to plan around
ADU specialist knowledge: detached, attached, and JADUs across LA's complex overlay system — with realistic ROI framing
No fake discounts: all cost ranges show assumptions; pricing locks after complete permitted drawings
Questions
Common questions from LA clients
Does an ADU in Santa Monica make financial sense?
It depends on lot coverage, setbacks, and whether you're retaining the unit or renting it. Our ADU feasibility tool walks through the LA zoning math and gives you a breakeven range before any design costs are committed.
How long does a full remodel take in Malibu?
Coastal zone permitting adds 3–6 months to most projects. We plan for it from the start — and flag if your scope might trigger California Coastal Commission review, which adds additional timeline.
Can you work with our existing architect?
Yes. We prefer it when the design relationship is already established. We bring the build-side documentation your architect needs: trade partner requirements, material lead times, and permit office preferences by city.
What is a soft-story retrofit and do I need one?
Soft-story buildings (typically 1970s–1990s apartments with weak ground-floor garages) were mandated for retrofit by LA under the Soft Story Ordinance. We assess whether your building is affected and what the retrofit involves before any compliance work begins.
Are your cost estimates binding?
No. All pre-design cost ranges are illustrative and non-binding, with visible assumptions. Binding pricing follows finalized permitted drawings and a confirmed scope of work.
