Monterey Bay Design Group

Monterey Bay Design Group is a Carmel Valley, California-based residential design and construction company specializing in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), custom homes, remodeling, and property improvements. The company helps homeowners identify opportunities to add value to their properties through thoughtfully designed additional living spaces, including ADUs, granny units, in-law flats, and garage conversions.

The company provides an integrated approach to ADU design, permitting, and construction, helping homeowners navigate the process from the initial concept through local approvals and construction. Its focus on ADUs is particularly strong, with the company describing these units as opportunities for rental income, multigenerational living, independent space for family members, and increased property value.

ADU Design & Construction Services

Monterey Bay Design Group works with homeowners throughout the design and permitting process, providing guidance on local ADU requirements and helping clients develop projects suited to their property. Its ADU expertise includes detached units, granny flats, in-law suites, secondary housing units, and garage conversions.

The company also provides broader residential design and construction services. Its work includes custom homes, remodeling, interior design, custom cabinetry, bathrooms, kitchens, and other home improvements. The firm works with local architects, contractors, and tradespeople to deliver residential projects from planning through completion.

Monterey Bay Design Group is led by Craig Riddell, who has approximately 30 years of experience in the building and design trades and has been involved in residential, commercial, planning, and community-development work in the Monterey Peninsula area.
