Full-Home Renovation + JDU | Elevated Living with Built-In Flexibility

This Chula Vista home was completely reimagined through a full-scale renovation paired with the addition of a thoughtfully designed Junior Dwelling Unit. Led by So-Cal Design & Reno, the project focused on creating a cohesive, modern home that balances everyday comfort with long-term versatility.

The main residence was opened up to enhance flow, natural light, and indoor-outdoor connection, with refined finishes and modern details layered throughout. Expansive living spaces lead seamlessly to a reworked backyard designed for entertaining, while the interior palette blends warmth and sophistication for a timeless feel. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully redesigned, elevating both function and visual impact.

The JDU was carefully integrated to feel intentional rather than secondary and designed as a fully self-contained living space ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income, while maintaining architectural harmony with the main home.

Jose oversaw construction and execution with a focus on structure, flow, and precision, while Alyssa curated the design vision, bringing balance, contrast, and cohesion across both the primary residence and the JDU.
