Challenge

Limited flat area and privacy needs required a compact footprint and careful massing relative to the main house.

Approach

We developed a efficient studio plan, refined elevations for the hillside context, and managed permitting documentation for submission.

Outcome

A permit-oriented design package ready for the homeowners’ construction path — calm, compact, and site-specific.
