Know what's possible before you build.
Most projects begin with a simple question: renovate, add on, or rebuild? We help homeowners make that decision with confidence, then guide the project through feasibility, architectural design, permitting, and construction with continuous architectural direction from start to finish.
Architect-Led Custom Homes, Additions & Renovations.
We take on residential projects ranging from new custom homes to major additions and whole-home renovations.
Custom Homes and Rebuilds
New custom homes and complete residential rebuilds, from feasibility and site planning through permit-ready construction documents.
Additions and Whole-Home Renovations
Major additions, whole-home renovations, and comprehensive remodels that expand, reconfigure, and modernize existing homes. We work throughout the South Bay and Peninsula, with projects in Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Menlo Park, and surrounding communities.
Projects We Take On
From the first meeting, we felt confident in both the design direction and what was realistically possible.

We interviewed several architects and Eyal was by far the best and easiest to work with. From the first meeting, we felt confident in our decision.

Palo Alto Complete Renovation and Second Story Addition
The owners wanted a complete transformation without replacing the existing home. By retaining the existing first floor structure, we designed an entirely new layout with a second story and complete interior renovation. The project is now moving through city review in Palo Alto.

Currently In Design
Every property is shaped by zoning, existing structure, permitting requirements, and construction cost.
Many homeowners discover these constraints late in the process, when changes become more difficult and costly. We identify these factors early so your project begins with a realistic understanding of what can be built.
Understanding what is possible on your specific lot before design begins keeps projects on track and decisions grounded.
Our projects are typically custom homes, additions, and renovations for homeowners in the South Bay and Peninsula who want strong design, a clear process, and honest cost direction from the start.
What Determines What Can Be Built
Our projects are typically custom homes, additions, and renovations for homeowners in the South Bay and Peninsula who value strong design, a clear process, and confidence in the decisions ahead.
We work with homeowners who want to understand what is possible on their property, whether they are planning a major renovation, considering an addition, or deciding if a rebuild makes the most sense.
Who We Work With
Starting the Right Way
The decisions made before design begins shape everything that follows: the scope, budget, timeline, and overall success of the project.
We help establish the right direction early by understanding your property, identifying opportunities and constraints, and creating a clear path forward before major decisions are made.
Project Planning Guide · Feasibility and Starting Smart · What's Possible
Every project is personally led by Eyal Ravid, a licensed California architect with over 20 years of experience in architecture and residential design. He combines deep technical knowledge with a strong understanding of how homes come together, creating homes that make the most of each property.
