Services
ADU and JADU for Single Families
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are ideal solutions for single-family homeowners seeking to maximize their property’s potential. ADUs are standalone housing units, while JADUs are smaller, attached units that share some facilities with the main home. These units are perfect for rental income, multigenerational living, or simply enhancing property value.
At Alimo Architects, we handle everything from custom designs that blend seamlessly with your existing home to navigating the permit approval process. If you’re looking to expand your property in a way that’s efficient and compliant with local regulations, we’re here to help.
ADU for Multi-Family Properties
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) can be built on multi-family properties in California, including apartment complexes, duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and townhomes. AlimoArchitects specializes in designing and processing permits for both detached and conversion ADUs:
• Detached ADUs: Free-standing buildings separate from the main multi-family structure.
• Conversion ADUs: Transforming existing non-livable spaces, such as garages or basements, within the main building into functional housing units. The number of ADUs permitted depends on local jurisdiction, but general guidelines include:
• Up to two detached ADUs per multi-family lot.
• A minimum of one attached ADU for all multi-family properties or 25% of the existing units.
• Each bedroom in an ADU must have an exterior-facing window.
Our team ensures compliance with these guidelines while designing ADUs that maximize space, functionality, and tenant satisfaction. If you own a multi-family property, let us help you unlock its full potential with expertly crafted ADU solutions.

SB9 Projects
California’s Senate Bill 9 (SB9), known as the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, empowers property owners to split single-family lots and add up to two housing units per lot. This law is a game-changer for creating new housing opportunities while addressing California’s housing shortage. At Alimo Architects, we specialize in managing SB9 projects, including lot splits, entitlement packages, and full permit processing. Our expertise ensures your project complies with local zoning laws and the Los Angeles Department of City Planning’s SB9 guidelines.
We provide innovative, sustainable designs that integrate seamlessly with your property’s existing structures while maximizing its potential. Ready to get started? Contact us today to explore the possibilities for your SB9 project.
