Our Services

We specialize in projects that fit West Hollywood's dense, walkable neighborhoods and strict building codes.

ADU Construction

Detached ADU with private entrance near Laurel Canyon. WeHo allows up to 1,200 sq ft.

Detached & Attached Units are the most popular ADU types in West Hollywood. Detached units sit in rear yards, staying under the 16-foot height limit. Attached units extend from the main home and often blend seamlessly with your existing architecture.

Homes in areas like the Norma Triangle and Tri-West benefit from detached designs that respect tight lot lines and neighbor privacy.

Garage Conversions turn underused space into legal living areas. In West Hollywood, garages convert to studios, one-bedrooms, or even two-bedroom units.

We handle kitchen, bathroom, egress windows, and utility upgrades so your conversion meets Title 24 energy code and all City requirements.

Garage conversion adds legal rental unit on compact West Hollywood lot.

Junior ADU (under 500 sq ft) carved from existing space. Ideal for family members in Hollywood Hills adjacent properties.

Junior ADUs (JADUs) are compact units (max 500 sq ft) carved from existing single-family homes. They may share a bathroom with the main house but have separate kitchen and sleeping areas.

Perfect for multi-generational living near Beverly Hills borders or Hollywood Hills neighborhood boundaries.

Custom Homes & New Construction

Full Custom Builds on vacant or redeveloped lots. West Hollywood's low-rise zoning (typically 3–4 stories max) supports townhomes, duplexes, and small multi-family projects.

We navigate historic overlays, setback requirements, and the City's design review for projects near the Sunset Strip or in the Fairfax District boundaries.

Modern custom townhome respecting West Hollywood lot lines and height restrictions.

Architectural & Permit Services

Site plan and elevations prepared for West Hollywood Municipal Code compliance.

Site Plans & Building Drawings prepared by licensed architects. Every plan shows setbacks, property lines, height limits, and utility connections.

Our team is familiar with West Hollywood's online permit portal and submits directly for faster review cycles.

Why Local Expertise Matters

West Hollywood has distinct rules, compact lots, and high design standards. Choosing a builder familiar with the city saves time and prevents costly mistakes.

Permit & Code Knowledge

West Hollywood Municipal Code (WHMC) governs ADU sizes (150–1,200 sq ft), setbacks (4 feet minimum from rear/side lines), and parking exceptions. Ministerial ADUs that meet objective standards skip discretionary review and get approved within 60 days.

We track updates to California state law (AB 68, AB 587, AB 881, SB 13) that affect local rules. Our team submits plans online and responds to City plan check comments efficiently.

Compact Lots & Design Integration

West Hollywood's dense, walkable neighborhoods (Walkscore 89) mean small lots and shared property lines. The Norma Triangle, West Hollywood Heights, and Tri-West have homes built in the 1910s–1940s—often with limited yard space.

Our designs respect neighbors' privacy (15-foot window setbacks when required), integrate utility access, and maintain West Hollywood's architectural character—Spanish Revival, Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern.

Parking, Accessibility & Utility Planning

State law limits parking requirements for ADUs in transit-served urban areas like West Hollywood. Many projects need zero additional spaces. When parking is required, we design tandem, alley, or on-street solutions.

We confirm utility capacity early (water, sewer, power) and upgrade panels or meters as needed. Separate utility meters simplify billing for rental units.

Serving West Hollywood & Nearby Areas

We're based in West Hollywood and serve all neighborhoods within the city and nearby boundaries.

West Hollywood Neighborhoods

Norma Triangle: Historic 1910s–1920s bungalows between Doheny Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard. Compact lots, architectural charm, minimal rear yard space—ideal for garage conversions or small detached ADUs with careful design.

Sunset Strip & West Hollywood Heights: Hillside and mid-rise residential areas north of Sunset. Setback and height rules are stricter; we design units that respect steep slopes and neighbor views.

Tri-West & Pacific Design Center Zone: Mix of single-family homes and apartments near the Design Center. Modern aesthetic, good for contemporary ADU designs that complement new construction in the area.

Laurel Canyon Area: Winding canyon roads with mid-century and Mediterranean homes. Larger lots, more privacy; ideal for detached ADUs and custom hillside builds.

West Hollywood East & North: Diverse neighborhoods with Russian émigré communities, mixed architectural styles, and varied lot sizes. We're sensitive to neighborhood character and zoning nuance in each area.
