Starting fresh means infinite possibilities and a thousand decisions. At Dwelling Lab, we help Bay Area homeowners and investors design new construction homes that feel intentional from the ground up.
From raw land to final plans, we help shape a home that’s grounded in purpose, tailored to your site, and ready to grow with you.
Designing a new home is about shaping how life unfolds within it. We begin by identifying the essentials: natural light, flow, views, privacy, family needs, and long-term goals. From there, we develop a cohesive architectural plan that responds to the site, reflects your priorities, and supports how the space will be lived in for years to come.

New homes offer a blank slate, but they also require more foresight up front. We guide you through each stage, balancing ambition with local requirements and realistic timelines.
From sloped lots to wildfire zones, building in the Bay Area comes with unique challenges. Our designs are shaped by this context, streamlining the process and elevating the result.
Alongside new builds, we design ADUs that add flexibility and value, and deliver commercial tenant improvements that adapt spaces for business growth.
Whether you’re early in the process or ready to move forward, we’re here to help you design a home that reflects your vision, down to the last detail.
