Dot to Dot Cafe and Children's Atelier Food Workshop

Dot to Dot Preschool in Carmel Valley was already a gem of the neighborhood. The owners decided it was time to expand by converting their existing kitchen to another classroom and taking over the coffee shop space on the corner. They now offer Dot to Dot cafe which sources sustainable and local ingredients as well as a Children's Atelier Food Workshop next door.

Compa Coffee Roasters

Another recently completed project in Rancho Bernardo. Compa Coffee Roasters is a unique coffee bar where you can get truly delicious specialty sourced coffee and food made with scratch made ingredients they make themselves. Everything from the syrups to the bread. The design allows for a large work area as well as plenty of area for cueing and sitting areas. It is inspired by the suns rays.

Little Fox Cups and Cones

Little Fox Cups and Cones has expanded from a small walk-up window and mobile vendor into their first brick and mortar shop at Fabric Investments' new Freeman Collective in Oceanside. The shop features ice cream tacos, waffle cone making and a gourmet handmade ice cream kitchen.

Modern Two-Story ADU

As local suburbs are becoming more popular and dense, and with new state laws for ADUs many homeowners are turning to their own lots to expand. Whether to age in place or rent out for others ADUs are a great option to convert or expand your existing garage. This ADU replaced the existing two-story garage and added 4 feet to the front. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms in a 765 square feet footprint.

Modern ADU - Pool/Guest house + Office

This ADU is located in University City at the end of a large backyard that looks out north towards UTC and La Jolla. With a beautiful view and next to the newly redone pool, the ADU serves as a guest house, pool house and office space for the owners. It has a small kitchen and full size bathroom. The ceilings are high and the exterior finishes included metal paneling and composite wood panels.

Communal Coffee Oceanside

Located at a new redevelopment project in Oceanside called Tremont Collective by Fabric Investments, this coffee and wine bar decided to expand from its success in South County San Diego to North County. The project features a commercial kitchen, flower shop, coffee and wine bar, seating, retail and outdoor seating areas.

Al Fresko Experience Shop and Bites

Also located at a new redevelopment project in Oceanside called Tremont Collective by Fabric Investments, this charcuterie and craft goods shop is settling into a brick and mortar space. The Al Fresko Experience features a commercial kitchen, merchandise area and outdoor pick up window.

North Park Garage Conversion ADU

A local North Park family wanted to convert their single car garage into a studio ADU/office with bathroom for guests and working from home. The project is only 225 sf but uses the space more efficiently by creating multi-use zones.

La Mesa Entry Addition + Remodel

A couple in La Mesa wanted to rework their choppy kitchen and guest room layout to make a kitchen that was easily connected to their rear patio and pool. They also needed to give their house more of a design presence by removing an old entry porch and adding a double height entry addition.

The Annex Retail Store

As part of another suite/extension to the Communal Coffee + Flowers retail and coffee shop is The Annex at Tremont Collective. This small store and event rental space offers another perspective into the brand. The front offers retail goods while the rear is rentable for events and training including a conference room, back patio and meeting/kitchenette area.

Sonoma Addition + Remodel

With more grandkids added to the family, this vacation home needed to have more space and be updated to fit the needs of a large family. By adding a junior suite, the homeowners will be able to let their kids and grandkids utilize the rest of the home for holidays and gatherings while they have their own space. The kitchen was outdated, small and needed to be expanded into the dining room. The cold Sonoma nights provided an opportunity to create a cozy outdoor dining and seating area to give the family more usable space during all seasons of the year.

La Mesa Remodel

An older home needed an expanded kitchen and connection to the backyard. It also lacked a clear entry and was very long and unexciting from the front. The remodel included a new entry hall, expanded kitchen with walk out to the new pool and remodeled bathroom and bedrooms.

Spanish Dining Room Addition

This historic Spanish home needed more space for this family to entertain and dine together. Located in the College Area it was built in the 1920s. The addition needed to feel like it was always part of the home and match the surrounding architecture. The result was a dining room addition and an entry porch. A new intricate Spanish-style bay window at the front provided a cohesive look with the existing style of the home.
