Design with Purpose
It's more than a concept,
It's designing for a better way of life.
Design Approach
Creativity
Our inspiration reaches beyond the existing built environment. We aim to identify core challenges and develop innovative solutions that take shape through design. These solutions aren't found only in physical forms, but through observation, meaningful conversations, and the unique dynamics of each client’s lifestyle.
At BATL Group, our creative process is rooted in a client-centric philosophy. We believe that great architectural design begins by listening—translating your unique story into a physical space to be cherished for years to come.
This journey evolves from early concepts, like hand sketches and physical study models, into computer-generated renderings and digital models. By integrating artificial intelligence into our workflow, we explore innovative possibilities while keeping your feedback as the primary driver of the final design.
Residential Design
A house is the building we live in, but a home is the place where our life story unfolds, and our fondest memories are made.

New Construction
Designing your dream home?
Crafting a new home from the ground up is an undertaking that is both an exciting and profoundly fulfilling journey, but it equally stands as one of the most substantial and complex endeavors you will ever choose to pursue in your lifetime. By considering and thinking about the critical phases and decisions at the very beginning of this design journey, you have the ability to avoid a great deal of potential strain, conserve precious hours, and protect your financial resources as the project unfolds in the future.
Thinking about adding onto your home?
Embarking on a home addition is a considerable and significant undertaking that involves a complex series of coordinated steps. This process can be compared to the construction of an entirely new house, yet it can often present a more intricate challenge due to the crucial need to integrate the newly built structure with the existing building and systems of your current home. The successful integration of the old and the new requires careful planning and precise execution so that the addition not only looks like it has always been a part of the house but also functions harmoniously with it.

Remodel
Looking to remodel your living space?
Undertaking a home remodel is an excellent way to bring new life into your living space, enhancing its functionality, improving its visual appeal, and significantly increasing its value. Whether your vision involves a comprehensive, top-to-bottom change of your entire house or a focused area of a single room, the key to a successful project lies in careful and thoughtful planning. A well-crafted plan serves as the basis for every decision and makes each step of the process efficient and effective.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary, self-contained living space located on the same property as a single-family home.
It is designed as a complete, independent unit, sometimes equipped with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area.
Advantages of Building an ADU
Financial
One of the most compelling reasons to build an ADU is the potential for significant financial gain. By adding a separate living space, you can greatly increase your property's value, with some studies showing a boost of 20% or more. This makes your home more attractive in a competitive housing market. ADU can generate a steady stream of passive income through long-term rentals, which can help offset your mortgage or other expenses. In popular tourist areas, you can also use the ADU for short-term rentals on platforms like Airbnb, providing even more financial flexibility.
ADUs offer a cost-effective living option, both for homeowners and renters. For homeowners, the ability to generate rental income makes an ADU a practical way to offset housing costs. For renters, ADUs provides a more attainable housing option, often located in desirable neighborhoods where standalone homes or apartments might be financially out of reach.
Beyond the financial benefits, an ADU offers flexibility for how you use your property.
It can serve as a:
-
Multigenerational home, allowing aging parents or adult children to live close by while maintaining their privacy. This can be a more affordable and personal alternative to assisted living.
-
Dedicated home office or studio, providing a quiet, separate space for remote work, creative projects, or a home gym.
-
Guest house, giving visitors a comfortable and private place to stay, eliminating the need for hotel reservations.
Flexibility
Social + Environmental
Building an ADU also contributes to the greater good. In many communities struggling with housing shortages, ADUs are a crucial part of the solution, providing more affordable housing options for individuals and small households. This helps to increase density and make better use of existing urban and suburban areas.
In addition, ADUs are a sustainable housing option. Their smaller footprint means they require fewer resources to build and maintain, and they are generally more energy-efficient to heat and cool than a full-sized house, making them an environmentally friendly choice.
Ultimately, an ADU is more than just an extra building; it's a strategic investment in your property and your future, offering a blend of financial rewards, living convenience, and community benefits.
ADU Financial Considerations
Property Value
Homes with ADUs can appreciate significantly more than those without. Studies indicate that properties with ADUs can see value increases of 20-30%.
Rental Income
ADUs have the potential to generate substantial rental income, ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 per month, depending on location and unit size. This income can help offset construction costs and mortgage payments.
Cost Effective
Building an ADU is generally more affordable than purchasing a separate property. Construction costs typically range from $100,000 to $450,000, depending on the type and size of the unit.
