Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions about our Interior Design.
What does Design-Build mean?
Our general contracting and new home building services are design-led, meaning we are involved with the planning, building, and final vision. While you don’t have to use us as an interior designer, it’s part of our expertise and we always lend our perspective to project — ensuring layouts flow well, lighting plans are optimized, and details are well-thought-out.
How much does aN ADU in San Diego cost?
ADUs may be small in size, but the detail that goes into making them a seamless and complementary part of your property means it’s still a big project. In San Diego, the cost of building a custom, turnkey ADU construction usually starts at $250 a square foot.
What is your preferred style for home additions and ADUs in San Diego?
Our design expertise is diverse and our results are tailored to your preferences. We don’t specialize in one single home style. However our projects are guided by the distinctive essence of Southern California style.
For ADUs, we’ll take into account your vision and goals, while also striving to create a space on your property that is cohesive and compliments your existing home and landscaping.
For home additions, we’ll work with your existing space and your unique taste & preferences to customize your design, making the new expansion feel like it’s original to your home.
Do you provide interior design services for ADUs?
We do! Our design-led process incorporates a thoughtful perspective on interior design. Beyond that, we provide full comprehensive interior services like furniture selection, lighting design, colors, and textiles as well.
How customized is your ADU and ADdition building process?
Our builds are customized to your taste, preferences, and lifestyle requirements. Our process is also tailored to your goals. When we begin collaborating, we start with a discovery and concept phase to understand your goals, priorities, and how
you use your space. This informs the rest of your ADU build or home addition process.
