From Garage + Dirt Yard to Custom Home Property | Full Transformation

This project started with a detached garage and an underutilized backyard.

There was no functional outdoor space, no cohesive layout, and no additional living structure.

From that starting point, we transformed the entire property into a fully designed, fully built residential space.

This included:

Converting the detached garage into a 999 sq ft ADU

Expanding and upgrading the main house

Building a new 2 car garage and a new 1 car garage

Creating a full outdoor living environment with pool and spa

Design + Build Approach

This project is a true example of what a design + build process should look like.

From early concept through construction, every decision was coordinated to:

  • Maximize the footprint
  • Meet city requirements
  • Improve functionality
  • Elevate the overall design

The homeowners came in with a vision, and through collaboration, that vision expanded into something much larger.


Craftsmanship & Execution

A major focus of this project was detail and execution.

  • Custom tile and stone work throughout the home and pool areas
  • Precision cabinetry and finish carpentry
  • Integrated design elements like faux beams and custom layouts
  • Clean, intentional installation—not rushed work

Every trade was coordinated to ensure the final result felt cohesive and high quality.


The Final Result

What started as an ADU became something much more.

A fully customized property with:

  • Multiple living spaces
  • Indoor-outdoor flow
  • High-end finishes
  • Long-term functionality

As the homeowner shared:

“Adu is what it technically is, but they built us a custom home and put everything in that we wanted.”
