Architect in Burbank, CA
An architect in Burbank sees two cities: the flat grid of 1920s to 1950s bungalows and ranches south of the 5 and in Magnolia Park, and the steep streets above Sunset Canyon and the Rancho district against the Verdugo Mountains.
An architect in Burbank sees two cities: the flat grid of 1920s to 1950s bungalows and ranches south of the 5 and in Magnolia Park, and the steep streets above Sunset Canyon and the Rancho district against the Verdugo Mountains. Verdugo Studio designs additions, ADUs, new homes and tenant improvements across both, a short drive from our Glendale studio.
What is different about Burbank
- Single-family design review. Burbank reviews second stories and large additions for compatibility with the block, with attention to floor-area ratio and the length of a second floor.
- Hillside overlay. Lots in the Hillside Development area have their own grading, height and setback rules.
- ADUs are common on Burbank's deep lots, and the city's standards for height and setback are specific.
- Rancho district equestrian properties have unique setback and accessory structure rules.
Projects

Let's talk about your project.
A site visit is the first step. We walk the property, tell you what the lot allows, and give you a cost range before you commit to a fee.
Not sure the lot is buildable? Ask about a site feasibility review.
