FAQ
Common questions about ADU Design.
Can you confirm ADU eligibility for a project site?
We can help organize design information, but zoning and code confirmation should be handled with the local jurisdiction or a qualified professional.
Can you document a garage apartment design?
Yes. We can develop models, drawings and views from the garage apartment layout provided by your studio.
Do you help with small-space interiors?
Yes. Storage, compact kitchens, bathrooms and built-ins are important parts of ADU planning.
