The ADU Expert Every Silicon Valley Homeowner Needs
Michelle, Santa Clara
​
"I feel so lucky that I found Chennie and her team when I started exploring the possibility of building an ADU on my property in Santa Clara.
My backyard is quite narrow and long, and I had been worried that the options for adding an ADU might be very limited.
Chennie is more than just an an architect -- she is definitely a problem solver! She came to my home in person to carefully evaluate the property and my concerns, and instead of just giving general suggestions, she proposed a very creative and realistic layout that actually takes advantage of the narrow shape of the yard. It was one of those magic moments where I realize I am talking to someone who really understands both architecture and problem-solving, and respect the true value of my property.
Chennie didn’t just talk about design — she also gave me very practical advice about how to approach the city, get the permit and move the project forward.
Me and my partner also had the chance to visit an open house that Chennie's team hosted in San Jose. The project involved buiding a new single-family home and adding an ADU, and it was incredibly inspiring to see the finished result in person. The ADU design was a very clever use of space and showed how creative thinking can completely transform and double value a property.
Me and my partner made the decision to work with Chennie to bring this dream ADU house to live.If you’re planning an ADU project in Silicon Valley, you will be in very good hands with Chennie and her team!"
