Malibu Home Additions: Expertly Crafted Expansions

Golden State ADU delivers impactful home additions tailored to Malibu's exclusive coastal lifestyle. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities presented by properties in Los Angeles County's premier beach city, from navigating LADBS requirements to designing spaces that enhance ocean views and indoor-outdoor living.

Maximize Your Ocean View with a Second Story Addition

In Malibu'120 ADU permits were filed with the LADBS, indicating a strong local demand for expanded living spaces. A second-story addition can significantly enhance your property's value and usability, especially on the typically narrow lots common in areas like East Gate and Point Dume. Gain panoramic ocean views and add much-needed square footage without sacrificing your existing yard. We navigate the LADBS approval process efficiently, ensuring your project aligns with Malibu's unique coastal zoning regulations.

Explore In-Law Suite Possibilities for Extended Family

Malibu's coastal climate and spacious (though sometimes sloped) lots lend themselves to comfortable accessory dwelling units and in-law suites. Golden State ADU specializes in designs that complement your existing home's architecture while providing private, accessible living spaces. Consider the possibilities for multi-generational living or generating rental income in a market where comparable rentals average $3,500/month. We handle all plans and permits through LADBS.
