Your home probably doesn’t need to start over. It needs a smarter next chapter.
A Little Cedar designs multifamily residential projects, ADUs and DADUs, and single-family additions with the same calm rigor: real permitting, real buildability, and spaces that feel good to live in.
Sample project mix
ADU · Addition · Multifamily
Concept, coordination, drawings, and a clean handoff into construction.
Phase 3 of 4
Designed for the work clients actually bring first
What we believe
Three convictions behind A Little Cedar.
Additions should improve the whole house, not just add square footage.
The goal is not only to build more. It’s to improve light, circulation, privacy, and the daily experience of the people already living there.
Project focus 1
Small-footprint housing can feel warm, generous, and highly livable.
ADUs, DADUs, and compact multifamily homes work best when efficiency and dignity show up together — good storage, good daylight, and good proportion.
Project focus 2
Residential work should be clear to build, not just nice to render.
Good architecture earns trust by moving cleanly from idea to drawing set. That means practical detailing, permitting awareness, and communication that reduces chaos for everyone involved.
Project focus 3
Selected projects
Residential work first, with select commercial interiors and retail projects.
I updated the launch version to better reflect the real mix of work, including a commercial retail example for Royce at Southcenter using safe stock imagery rather than unlicensed third-party project photos.
Seattle, WA
Maple Court Housing
“A compact urban site turned into efficient homes with daylight, privacy, and shared open space.”

Southcenter Mall · Tukwila, WA
ROYCE' Chocolate Storefront
“A clean, high-contrast retail expression with an open threshold, bright product display, and a compact plan that reads clearly from the mall concourse.”

Need a site-specific design path?
Start with your project type, goals, and timing. We’ll shape the next step from there.
How it works
Four steps. One calm process. One clearer residential project.
Built on a clear process, not guesswork
We shape the project before complexity starts running the project.
Assess
We review your property, goals, constraints, and whether the opportunity is best served by an addition, ADU, DADU, or a broader rethinking.
Design
We develop layout logic, massing, and key priorities so decisions get easier instead of snowballing later.
Permit
We prepare a permit-oriented drawing set that gives the project a real path forward, not just beautiful sketches.
Build
We support a cleaner builder handoff so pricing, coordination, and execution start from a better place.
Residential-First Focus
The practice is still centered on houses, backyard homes, and small-scale multifamily work, with select commercial interiors folded in where it makes sense.
Permit-Aware Process
Early design choices are made with submittal and buildability in mind, not bolted on at the end.
Context-Sensitive Design
The goal is work that feels settled on the site and aligned with the way people actually live.

We can later turn this section into a lead magnet, guide, or blog signup.
For now it keeps the exact page rhythm you wanted. Later we can use it for a homeowner guide, ADU checklist, or additions planning PDF.
