Architect in Eagle Rock
An architect in Eagle Rock is working under City of Los Angeles rules, which differ from Glendale's next door.
An architect in Eagle Rock is working under City of Los Angeles rules, which differ from Glendale's next door. Eagle Rock's hillside streets fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, parts of the neighborhood sit in or near an HPOZ, and Los Angeles reviews ADUs and SB 9 projects through its own Department of Building and Safety process. Verdugo Studio designs hillside homes, ADUs, additions and Craftsman and Spanish bungalow remodels here, across the 2 from our Glendale studio.
What is different about Eagle Rock
- Baseline Hillside Ordinance. Floor area, height, grading and the 'hillside street' access rules shape what a steep lot can hold.
- HPOZ. Houses in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone go through HPOZ board review for exterior changes.
- ADUs are approved through LADBS, with Los Angeles's own standards for size and setbacks.
- Small lots and mature trees drive most siting decisions.
Projects
Hillside new homes and remodels, detached and garage-conversion ADUs, second-story additions and bungalow restorations.
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.
