Atherton scope

Atherton garage conversions need privacy and finish expectations set early.

For Atherton homes, the first pass should decide whether the garage should become guest space, work space, staff-support space, or an ADU path, then align privacy, finishes, storage, and build budget.

Garage conversion design

Define the future use, floor plan, entry, storage, light, ventilation, and finish direction before drawings get detailed.

Atherton permit support

Coordinate plan information, drawings, structural questions, and supporting details for a clearer city review path.

Garage-to-ADU planning

Check whether the garage can become an ADU and what extra kitchen, bath, utility, and life-safety decisions appear.
