About Studio IA
Building an ADU shouldn't require coordinating multiple firms
Studio IA simplifies the process by bringing together experienced architects, engineers, consultants, and licensed builders into one coordinated experience — led by Imogen Adams Reyes in Santa Barbara County.
You get one conversation and one trusted team. Meet the founder or explore Santa Barbara ADU services.
“Studio IA walked us through permits and design with patience and clarity. It felt personal the whole way — not like managing a dozen handoffs.”
