Seamless Design, Thoughtfully Crafted.
Every great home starts with a conversation. At Prestin Ravid Architects, we take the guesswork out of the design process—guiding you from the first spark of an idea to the moment you step into your newly transformed home. Whether it’s a custom home, major remodel, or an addition, we make sure the process is as enjoyable as the result.
Step 1: Feasibility & Planning
This is where we begin by answering key questions:
What’s possible given local zoning regulations in the South Bay or Peninsula?
Remodel, expand, or build from scratch? What’s should we do?
What’s a realistic budget for my project?
We meet with you on-site to understand your goals and the possibilities for your property. We research regulations specific to your location and help outline a budget that aligns with your vision.
Our Process
At Prestin Ravid Architects, we believe in a transparent and thoughtful approach that guides you through every stage of your project. Whether you’re envisioning a custom home, addition, adu, or remodel in the South Bay or Peninsula, we’re here to ensure your vision is brought to life, every step of the way.
Step 2: Architectural Concept Design
Once we’ve clearly defined your goals, we move into the creative phase:
Sketches & 3D visualizations to bring your ideas to life
Existing condition drawings if needed, or measurements to create accurate layouts
Thoughtful space planning that reflects how you want to live
You’ll see how your home might come together and have a clear vision of how your ideas will become a reality.
Step 3: Design Development & Construction
With the design finalized, we shift to the detailed planning and execution phase:
Planning approvals & permitting – We manage the necessary paperwork so you don’t have to worry about the red tape.
Construction documents – Every detail is documented for a smooth build.
Contractor selection & coordination – We help you select the best builder for your project.
Ongoing construction support – We stay involved to address questions and ensure the project stays on track.
From the first drafts to the final walkthrough, we’ll be there every step of the way, ensuring quality and consistency.
