Permit-ready drafting for Los Altos ADUs, additions, remodels and new homes — drawn to fit Los Altos's larger lots and design review standards.
Los Altos homes sit on some of the larger single-family lots in the South Bay, and the city's review process reflects that — height limits, setbacks and often a design review component are applied with real scrutiny, especially for additions and new construction that change a home's massing or street presence. Homeowners here are usually less worried about fitting a project onto a tight lot and more concerned with clearing design review without a costly redesign partway through. We draw Los Altos projects with the city's design standards in mind from the first sketch, not as an afterthought layered on once the drawings are otherwise done.
Detached, attached and junior ADU plans sized and sited to Los Altos's setback, height and lot-coverage rules, with state ADU allowances applied and design compatibility considered from the start.
Room and second-story addition drawings coordinated with Los Altos's height limits and design review standards for single-family neighborhoods.
Interior and exterior remodel drawings for kitchens, baths and whole-house renovations, scoped for whichever level of plan check and design review your project triggers.
Ground-up custom home drawings and garage-to-living-space conversions prepared for Los Altos submittal, with massing and street presence considered against the city's design standards.
We review your lot, existing structure and goals, and confirm zoning and design review considerations specific to your Los Altos property.
Full construction drawing set — site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections and details — prepared to Los Altos's submittal checklist.
Energy compliance and, where needed, structural review coordinated into the same submittal package.
If the city comes back with corrections or design review comments, we revise and resubmit — we don't disappear after the first drawing set goes out.
Two decades drawing plans for Los Altos and the surrounding cities, not a generic national template.
Drawings prepared under professional design standards — relevant in a city where design review carries real weight.
Massing, height and street presence get considered early, not fixed after a design review comment.
You work directly with the person drawing your plans, from first sketch through design review and plan check corrections.

It depends on the project. Many single-family ADUs, additions and remodels in Los Altos can be permitted with drafted plans alone, but structural elements — retaining walls, second-story additions, some new construction — often require a licensed engineer's stamp. We'll tell you upfront whether your project needs one, and can coordinate engineering review as part of the drawing package.
It depends on scope — additions and new construction that change a home's massing or visible street presence are more likely to trigger design review than an interior remodel or a modest ADU. We'll tell you during the site walk whether your project is likely to need it, and draw with that standard in mind from the start.
Most Los Altos single-family lots qualify for at least one ADU under state and local rules, subject to setback, height and lot-coverage limits — and Los Altos's larger lot sizes often mean more flexibility on placement than in denser cities. We confirm eligibility for your specific parcel during the site walk before we draw anything.
Turnaround varies by submittal volume and project scope, and projects that require design review generally take longer than those that don't. We can't promise a city timeline, but we can promise your drawings won't be the reason for a correction cycle.
Both, if you want it bundled. We prepare Title 24 / CF1R energy compliance documentation alongside the architectural drawings so the whole package is coordinated and submitted together — see our Title 24 & CF1R services for details.
A site address, rough scope of what you want to build, and — if it exists — a copy of your current property survey or existing floor plan. If you don't have a survey, we can help you get one.
