Architectural Design Services
Specializing in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

Easthope Design Architectural Services:

Richard Esteb, doing business as Easthope Design, is a Licensed Architect in California and Arizona providing complete residential building plans for kitchen and bath remodels and house additions. Easthope Design also designs Casitas and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), from concept to permitting.

This can include some or all of the following:

Programming – An initial needs analysis identifies your intent and goals. I listen, take notes and ask questions to uncover and clarify the scope of your project.

Feasibility Studies – Is your project doable based on existing conditions, local codes and ordinances? I perform the research and report the implications affecting your ADU, Casita, interior renovation or home addition.

Schematic Design – Together will explore some initial concepts of your project based on programming and feasibility. These sketches introduce you to the most promising design directions.

Space Planning – How will the design affect the look and feel of your home? How will traffic circulate? Will there be sufficient storage space? Lighting, temperature control and countless details are considered.

Design Development – With the key parameters identified, the design process begins in earnest.

Technical Consultation – As needed, I collaborate with engineers, seismic consultants or other experts to assure compliance and design integrity.

Planning & Construction Drawings – A full set of working drawings and specifications are created. These are used for the permit and approval process, as well as actual construction.

Construction Administration – While we can help you secure a qualified contractor, we do not supervise actual construction. We’ll be here to answer questions and support you during the process.

If you’re contemplating an addition, remodel, Accessory Dwelling Unit or a new residence, let’s talk.

Arrange a no-obligation exploratory consultation and let’s see what is possible.

My Desires:

Whether it’s a simple addition, a remodel, or a new residence, I am interested in your residential project.

If you are planning on adding an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or a casita, I am your architect. 

If you want to expand your space with a home office, an art studio or an apartment, I am your architect. 

If you want to remodel your kitchen or convert your garage, I am your architect.

If there’s a change you want to make, an idea you have for your house or building, and you think it can be done, it probably can—and I can help you make it happen.  Not every architect is up for the challenge, but I am.
