Design Studio
Our Design Team
Smart. Strategic. Build-Ready.
At Xtraunit, design is more than aesthetics—it’s a technical, build-focused discipline. Our team brings together architects, engineers, and code experts who understand what it takes to deliver plans that are as practical as they are compelling. From initial concept to permit-ready documents, we design with construction in mind.
Whether it’s a multifamily building, ADU, or mixed-use site, we optimize every layout for real-world constraints like site conditions, city code, and your budget goals. Our process isn’t just creative—it’s calculated to perform.

What Sets Us Apart
We don’t hand off. We integrate. Xtraunit’s design-build model means our architects and engineers work directly with our construction managers from day one. That collaboration ensures every drawing is efficient, cost-aligned, and ready to build.
With in-house experts across architecture, structural, MEP, and civil engineering, we reduce coordination errors and accelerate approvals. And because we know LA’s zoning codes and permitting pathways inside and out, we design for smooth submittals and fast RTIs.

Design That Supports ROI
We don’t just ask “what looks good?”we ask “what makes sense for your return?”
- Optimize unit count, layouts, and rentable square footage
- Reduce construction complexity without sacrificing design quality
- Maximize FAR, open space, and parking for entitlements
- Strategic Value Engineering built into the design process
Especially for developers and investors, design is a tool to drive returns—not just visual appeal.
