Modern Granny Flat San Diego

Modern Granny Flat is a San Diego County-based multidisciplinary architecture and design practice specializing in modern, sustainable, and affordable Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The firm focuses on creating flexible small-scale living spaces that maximize available property area while responding to the homeowner’s budget, lifestyle, and local development regulations.

The company provides a comprehensive ADU design and permitting process, beginning with understanding the client’s needs and evaluating the property. Its services include developing design options, preparing building-permit sets, submitting projects to the appropriate city or county, responding to plan-review comments, and helping clients progress toward permit approval.

Modern Granny Flat’s portfolio includes detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions, above-garage units, and other creative small-space solutions across San Diego County. Its projects emphasize flexible interiors, sustainable materials and systems, efficient use of space, and strong connections between indoor and outdoor environments.

The firm also assists clients beyond the initial design phase by preparing contractor sets, obtaining construction bids, reviewing contractor budgets, and monitoring construction. Modern Granny Flat works with a network of architects, engineers, and contractors rather than presenting itself as a conventional turnkey construction company.
