I founded this company after converting my own garage into an ADU and seeing firsthand how meaningful it can be to create a space with purpose. Every homeowner has a different story, and my goal is to design thoughtful spaces that truly support each client’s vision and way of living.
A Design Team
That You Can Trust
My Backyard Design Group is a design firm that provides architectural design services for residential and specializes in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) throughout Southern California. With over 10 years of experience, our team brings attention to detail, quality work, and a strong commitment to exceeding client expectations.
This project is a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) that is attached to the main house. The design optimizes the existing garage square footage by designing a functional living area which includes a kitchen area, a bathroom, and private entrance.
Start by requesting a free consultation. One of our team members will schedule a convenient day and time to visit your property. During the visit, we will take photos and measurements, complete preliminary research, and provide you with a project quote.
Once you are ready to move forward, we will prepare a set of construction drawings, submit them to the appropriate city jurisdiction for approval, and help obtain the construction permit on your behalf.
We can also connect you with a licensed General Contractor and a lender to help you better understand the construction process and available financing options. Our goal is to make the ADU process as smooth and stress-free as possible by helping coordinate the key steps from start to finish.
