Santa Barbara ADU design & project management

Thoughtful accessory dwelling units for Santa Barbara homeowners — guided by one trusted team from feasibility through a carefully coordinated delivery.

Santa Barbara ADU projects often navigate compact lots, historic context, parking considerations, and a permitting path that rewards clear, complete drawings. Studio IA brings design judgment and local process fluency together.

Whether you want a garden studio, a rental unit, or space for family, we coordinate design, permitting, and licensed builders — or the phases you need — without asking you to manage every firm yourself.

Local considerations

  • City vs. county jurisdiction can change requirements — we confirm early.
  • Hillside and view lots need careful massing and privacy planning.
  • Garage conversions are often strong options on constrained lots.
