Project Overview: I am a property owner/developer looking for an experienced Residential Designer or Architectural Drafter to create a full permit-ready set for a new residential build in Cerritos, CA. The project involves building two identical 2-story units on a single newly split lot (approx. 42 ft wide). Since the units will be identical (mirrored), this project requires designing one unit effectively, then site-adapting it for the second. The Aesthetic: Style: Modern "California Box" / Contemporary. Key Features: Flat parapet roofs, clean geometric lines, smooth stucco with wood accents, and a "long-axis" floor plan to maximize the deep, narrow lot. Scope of Work (What I Need You to Do): Design Phase: Develop the Site Plan, Floor Plans, and Elevations for the primary unit (~1,500 sq ft footprint, 2 stories). Visuals: Provide High-Quality 3D Color Renderings (Must be good enough for the Cerritos Fine Arts & Historical Commission/Art Jury review). Construction Documents: Produce a complete Architectural Set (Site, Floor, Roof, Elevations, Sections, Details, Window Schedules). Coordination: Collaborate with my Structural Engineer (I will hire them separately, or you can refer one) to incorporate their calculations into your set. Permitting: Handle the initial plan check corrections from the City Planning Dept. Why You Should Apply: Efficient Scope: You are designing one house and mirroring it. I am not asking for two unique designs. Clear Vision: I already have the lot survey, a clear design direction (California Box), and specific square footage goals (approx. 3,000 sq ft each unit). Ready to Start: The lot split is complete/in-process, and I am ready to hire immediately. Requirements: Must be proficient in Revit or AutoCAD (Revit preferred for 3D visualization). Experience with City of Cerritos or similar strict planning departments (Art Jury experience is a huge plus). Ability to design for Title 24 Performance-Based compliance (large windows/modern glazing). Please Note: I am hiring a separate Structural Engineer for the "wet stamps." This role is for Design & Drafting. To Apply, Please Answer: Have you successfully passed a design review board or "Art Jury" in Los Angeles/Orange County before? Can you share 2-3 examples of "Modern/Box" style homes you have designed? Do you have a preferred Structural Engineer you work with, or should I provide one? What is your estimated flat fee or hourly estimate for this specific scope?

With an intensive background in residential architecture, particularly structural design, I am thrilled to offer my services for your dual-unit California Modern project. My experience with extensive analysis, calculation and designing for the likes of US, UK and Mexican houses provides me with a strong understanding of the intricacies involved in executing a high-quality, safety-driven design. Proficiency in AutoCAD allows me to precisely implement large windows for maximized natural light, a distinguishing feature crucial to the modern glazing aesthetic you seek. Moreover, my linguistic abilities in French, English, Haitian Creole and Spanish make communicating your ideas seamless regardless of your preferred mode. In order to ensure a streamlined design process, as you've requested, I'm well-equipped with REVIT STRUCTURE AUTODESK software. This will not only facilitate accurate visualizations but also aid in comprehensive incorporation of calculations provided by your separately hired structural engineer. My utmost priority is delivering elegant yet economical designs that withstand the Cerritos Fine Arts & Historical Commission/Art Jury scrutiny. I've successfully passed such review boards across Los Angeles and Orange County on numerous occasions before and I am confident I can do so again for you.

With over a decade and a half in the industry, I, Artsakh, am more than qualified to take on your dual-unit California modern home project. My broad skill set covers every aspect of architectural design necessary for this scope of work. Proficient in Revit and AutoCAD, I leverage the power of these programs to create realistic 3D visualizations that will certainly impress Cerritos' Fine Arts & Historical Commission. With hundreds of completed projects in my portfolio, I have a deep understanding of designing for different architectural contexts and complying with performance-based regulations such as Title 24. Apart from a comprehensive understanding of the design process, one of my most salient traits is adaptability. Since you're looking for mirrored units with fixed square footage goals and a clearly defined California Box style, I believe I can not only meet but also exceed your expectations by delivering a cohesive design that merges sophistication, functionality, and uniqueness. In conclusion, with my extensive experience in residential projects and familiarity with stringent planning commissions similar to the Art Jury of Los Angeles/Orange County - along with my advanced technical skills - allow me to present myself as your best fit for this project. Let me bring your vision to life in an original way while ensuring absolute compliance and réalis-able creativity. Let's build something magnificent together!

Hello, I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to your project. With strong experience in modern residential design and permit-ready drafting for Southern California jurisdictions, I can deliver a clean, contemporary California Box design that meets Cerritos planning standards while maximizing the long, narrow lot efficiently. I’m comfortable producing full architectural sets in Revit, creating high-quality 3D renderings suitable for Art Jury review, and coordinating closely with structural engineers to ensure a smooth permitting process. I’ll work directly from your survey and design direction, develop a mirrored unit layout for efficiency, and stay engaged through initial City plan check comments so the project keeps moving without friction. You can expect precise documentation, clear communication, and a professional package ready for submission and construction. Best regards, Juan
