Irvine ADU Builder.
master-planned discipline, AB 670 fluent.
Irvine is master-planned end-to-end, which means almost every parcel sits inside an HOA or village association. California AB 670 (2019) voids HOA prohibitions on ADUs — but HOAs can still enforce reasonable aesthetic standards, and getting an Irvine ADU through both city plan-check and village architectural review is a parallel-process exercise.

What we resolve before drawings begin.
- 01
Village architectural review
Every Irvine village runs its own architectural review. We submit to city and village in parallel, with elevation packages designed to clear both on the first pass.
- 02
AB 670 protection
Your HOA cannot prohibit an ADU. They can require it to match the village's color and material palette — that's a design exercise, not a blocker.
- 03
Tight lot envelopes
Irvine R1 lots are smaller than older LA suburbs; detached ADUs typically run 600–800 sqft to preserve usable yard.
