Not sure if you can fit an ADU in your Santa Cruz backyard? You’d be surprised what our team can design and build.

This backyard on the West Side of Santa Cruz made room for a surprisingly spacious 472 square feet detached ADU that transitions seamlessly to the main home with a raised deck space featuring a hot tub, pergola, and built in fire pit.

Minimal and functional.

A swing-arm sconce in antique brass frees up valuable nightstand space, while a custom floating box drawer in rustic white oak by keeps bedside necessities close at hand. For this recent remodel, we focused on compact designs that make a big impact.

The best new home is the one that feels like you’ve lived there for an eternity. This Jewel Box Cottage in Capitola completed late last year fits the bill.

The home underwent a top-to-bottom remodel and second story addition, making use of every inch of the lot for living, working, and playing (with an emphasis on the playing). Visit our website to view more photos and read about the project.

This dreamy bathroom remodel has all the luxuries you could want in a his-and-hers primary suite: A walk-in shower and tub awash in blues with large format tile from and blue patterned accents from . A spacious vanity with Silestone countertop. A separate wash closet with its own built-in cabinets. And two closet dressing rooms that adjoin with a pocket door.

We’re just about wrapped on the remodel of this Santa Cruz home. Looking forward to handing it back to the homeowners to enjoy!
