Types of Projects Our Modern Architecture Studio Can Help You With


If you’re interested in starting a new home project, you’ve come to the right place. Our team has extensive experience working as home architects in San Diego and the surrounding area. We specialize in creating beautiful custom homes and ADUs, and enhancing existing spaces with elevated features that will impress the whole neighborhood.

High-End Design for Custom Modern Homes

Our modern architecture studio loves helping our clients build their dream homes from scratch. And, we've got a proven record of success as detailed in our portfolio of modern, minimalist, and mid-century modern projects.

Using our integrated design + build approach, the entire architectural process is streamlined from start to finish. We begin by developing a design that's tailored to your project goals, needs, and personal style.

Then, we create an interactive 3D model using state-of-the-art technology that will allow you to visualize both the interior and exterior of your space.

We'll make sure you feel confident in the design details before we move on to the final steps. And, what's better–we'll take care of everything for you in-house by navigating city codes, securing permits + partnering with expert contractors and engineers to begin construction.

Minimalist + Functional Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

If you're looking to expand your living space or build additional housing for rental opportunities, an accessory dwelling unit is a worthwhile, cost-effective option.

ADUs (commonly referred to as granny flats, companion units, guest houses, and in-law suites) have become very popular throughout Southern California thanks to recently improved city regulations.

As home architects in San Diego, our team has been at the forefront of the city's ADU program. We've been monitoring the latest developments and building codes.

And, recently we've even taken on our own self-funded ADU projects. This has helped us to master the design + build approach from both the client and architect perspective, in addition to offering sustainability options that reduce maintenance and utility cost on top of savings made possible by our proprietary design process.
