The Support You Need,
at the Stage You Need It

Some clients begin with an idea. Others already have plans, a contractor, or an active project. Signature Designs LA provides individual and coordinated services based on what the project requires.

Design-Build Services

For clients who want a more connected experience, Signature Designs LA can coordinate design and construction within one relationship.

This approach helps preserve the design intent, introduce construction considerations earlier, and reduce unnecessary handoffs between separate teams.

Clients are not required to use every service. Signature Designs LA can also work alongside an existing contractor, engineer, designer, or project team.

ADUs, Additions, and Custom Projects

Signature Designs LA helps clients plan and build spaces that are designed around the property, applicable requirements, and long-term goals.

Projects may include:

  • Detached and attached ADUs

  • Garage conversions

  • Junior ADUs

  • Multiple-unit opportunities

  • Home additions

  • Custom homes

  • Residential reconfiguration

  • Property expansion

Renderings

See the Direction Before It Is Built

Three-dimensional renderings help clients understand layout, scale, flow, and the overall direction of a proposed space before construction begins.

Renderings may include:

  • Explore design options

  • Visualize interiors and exteriors

  • Understand spatial relationships

  • Review furniture placement

  • Consider materials and finishes

  • Make decisions before construction

Renderings may be conceptual or developed around specifically selected products and materials, depending on the project scope.

Commercial and Specialty Projects

Signature Designs LA supports select commercial, conversion, and specialty projects throughout Los Angeles.

Projects may include:

  • Warehouse conversions

  • Banquet and event spaces

  • Tenant improvements

  • Commercial interiors

  • Cannabis-related facilities

  • Health department plans

  • Business-use conversions

  • Specialty property improvements

Because commercial projects vary significantly, every engagement begins with a detailed scope review.

Real Estate Guidance with Design and Construction Insight

A property decision may involve more than location, appearance, and price.

Buyers may want to understand whether a property could support an ADU, addition, renovation, or long-term development plan. Sellers and investors may need to decide which improvements make sense before listing or repositioning a property.

Chris’s real estate experience, architectural background, and construction knowledge allow clients to consider property opportunities from a broader perspective.

Services may include:

  • Residential buying and selling

  • Pre-purchase property discussions

  • Renovation and improvement considerations

  • Investor and development opportunities

  • Property-potential conversations

  • Coordination between real estate and project planning

Real estate services are provided through JohnHart Real Estate.
