Thoughtful ADUs, additions, and multifamily homes for Salida.

How do smaller homes and infill projects fit their sites?

Salida Plan Studio provides residential design, architectural detailing, and construction documents for ADUs, additions, remodels, duplexes, triplexes, and infill housing.

Smaller and denser residential projects require careful planning. An ADU must fit its property and zoning constraints. An addition must connect naturally to an existing home. A duplex or triplex must create privacy and individuality while using land, structure, access, and parking efficiently.

Each project is developed with attention to neighborhood scale, practical construction, daylight, outdoor space, and clear circulation. Studying the property and existing buildings early helps the design make the most of the available space.

The aim is to add useful housing and long-term value without making the project feel crowded, generic, or disconnected from its surroundings.

Planning around what is already there

An addition begins with understanding the existing home: its structure, circulation, light, and how the new spaces will connect. For infill housing, entries, parking, outdoor space, and the relationship between neighbors shape the plan. These decisions give each home a sense of privacy and identity.

Choosing the right design approach

Look for experience with smaller homes, shared sites, and the practical details of construction. Our guide to choosing a residential designer and Michael's background explain how we bring those considerations into the work.
