Approach / Project Types

What we design

For us, there are no small projects. Every type below gets the same process and the same care.

Custom homes

Custom, compact, efficient homes, including starter homes and houses on steep sites. From site evaluation to the last punch list, what gets built matches what we set out to do.

Backyard cottages + conversions

A small second home in the backyard, an apartment over the garage, or a garage or attic turned into living space. Room for family, guests, or rental income. (Also called ADUs.)

Small multi-family + in-town lots

New homes on empty or leftover lots in established neighborhoods, plus duplexes, row houses, and small apartment buildings that fit the existing fabric.

Remodels + additions

Sensible fixes for awkward floor plans and spaces that simply don’t work anymore, and additions that add room and value.
