15-Unit Townhomes Development in Downtown Riverside. Our crews are opening up the new driveway.

Not every great space starts with a blank lot. Sometimes, it’s already on your property—waiting to be reconsidered.

For this project, we transformed an existing storage shed into a refined, fully functional ADU & built a new 2-car garage space retrofitted while preserving a custom modified existing garage door.

Design, permitting & construction—all managed by one team, from the first conversation through final completion. No coordinating separate contractors. No guessing what the city needs next. No losing the original vision somewhere between drawings & construction.

A well-designed ADU does more than add square footage. It gives your property another way to serve your family: for guests, extended family, work, rental income, or simply room to breathe.

If you have an underused garage or backyard structure, it may be more valuable than it looks. Send us a message and tell us what you’re working with.

Grateful for another opportunity to design and to build another brand new ADU in the Pasadena area. Modern interpretation of Spanish design coming up soon.

Most homes wait for memories to happen. This one asked for them first.

Before the drywall went up, our client invited loved ones to write it straight into the bones — words to the old home, words to the new one, tucked behind the walls where they’ll sit for decades, quietly holding the house up from the inside and emotionally anchoring it for the people who live there.

That’s the kind of home built to hold more than it was framed for.

A major “gut job” custom remodeling in Pasadena, CA. We took an old ranch style house and gut the whole interior. Created vaulted ceilings in living room, family room and kitchen. Expand the master suite and create new guest suite. We thank our client for having wonderful taste in material selection as well. A successful project is always the result of great collaboration between our client and our team.

Bathroom upgrade is not just for aesthetic but rather it may be a life-saving measure. Take action now especially when you have elderly living with you.

Our biggest and most exciting project yet. 60-bedrooms of smart modern living in Downtown Riverside, CA. Over excavation process on the building pads. Simultaneously we continue our massive perimeter retaining walls.

T-24 calls for R-19. We want our house to be better insulated than standard. Rockwool R-23 for walls and ceiling. R-38 for the attic. Simply better.

We are blessed to be an American and to live in this great nation. United States of America has given us so many great opportunities in education, worship, safety, career, and freedom. Let us never take our country for granted. Let us strive to build America for the next generations so they too may enjoy these bountiful blessings.

God bless USA 🇺🇸
