The scariest part of building an ADU? 👻

Everything you have to figure out before it even begins.

Design. Engineering. City permits. Plan corrections. Consultants.

Most homeowners don’t know where to start, and they shouldn’t have to become experts just to improve their property.

That’s the problem we solve.

At Studio MOTH, we handle architectural design, coordinate engineering, and manage the permitting process so you have one team and one point of contact.

Take our Sumner Ave project in El Cajon:
🏠 1,527 SF home addition
🏠 1,009 SF attached ADU
📐 2,536 SF of new habitable space

More living space. More functionality. More possibilities for the property.

The only thing that should be scary this Halloween is the decorations. Not your building process.

Thinking about an ADU, home addition, or remodel?
DM us “BUILD” and let’s talk about what’s possible for your property.

Our latest ADU designed with an organic modern approach and subtle bohemian warmth.

Vaulted ceilings, natural oak tones, soft textures, muted greens, and layered lighting helped transform a compact footprint into a space that feels open, calm, and inviting.

Why is it called a “powder room” instead of just a bathroom?
Centuries ago, it was a space where guests would step away to refresh, compose themselves, and return to the gathering. Today, the idea remains the same, just reimagined through architecture, lighting, texture, and detail.

In this space, soft wall textures meet dramatic stone veining and warm brass accents to create something more than functional. A small room designed to leave a lasting impression.

One of our favorite parts of the process is seeing how the lighting, materials, and landscaping all come together at the end.
Simple modern design, warm tones, big windows, and a home that feels good to come back to at night.
