How long do permits typically take?
Most ADU and residential renovation projects clear plan check in 60–90 days. Larger residential projects, complex commercial work, and ground-up construction typically take 4–8 months.
Do you work outside Los Angeles?
Philokalia Design works with clients throughout California — including the Bay Area, San Diego, Orange County, the Inland Empire, Sacramento, and surrounding areas.
Can you handle the engineer and contractor too?
We work directly with your engineer, contractor, and consultants to keep the project aligned. If you don't have a contractor yet, we can recommend trusted partners.
What does a project cost?
Architectural fees vary based on scope and complexity, but for residential projects we typically work on a percentage-of-construction-cost or fixed-fee basis.
Do you offer just interior design or just technology, without architecture?
Yes. Interior design and technology integration are available as standalone engagements for existing homes.
