Room Additions in Manhattan Beach
Room additions are their own discipline — different from a remodel and different from an ADU. We integrate the new framing, foundation, roof, and finish so the addition disappears into the original architecture instead of looking glued on.
Manhattan Beach holds some of the South Bay's most demanding homeowners and highest finish expectations. From Sand Section walk streets to the larger Hill and Tree Section lots, the bar is high and the detail shows.
Building in Manhattan Beach
We know the local ground.
Design review, careful setback and height math, and Coastal Zone rules on the west side all shape what's buildable. Basements are a common move here to add square footage without going up or out.

Frequently asked
Common questions.
Do you take on additions projects in Manhattan Beach?
Yes. Manhattan Beach is squarely in our South Bay service area, and additions work is one of our core services. Design review, careful setback and height math, and Coastal Zone rules on the west side all shape what's buildable. Basements are a common move here to add square footage without going up or out.
How much addition can we add to our lot?
Depends on the city, the lot, the FAR, and the setbacks. We'll do a feasibility read before you commit to drawings — usually a same-day answer after a site walk.
Can you match the existing house?
Yes — that's most of the job. Matching trim profiles, siding, roof pitch, and window proportions is what makes an addition feel original instead of bolted-on.
How long does a typical addition take?
Plan on 4–8 months of construction once permits are issued, depending on size and whether the existing house stays occupied during the work.
