EHM Construction: ADU Design and Building in San Diego
EHM Construction operates out of San Diego, California, offering accessory dwelling unit design and construction services across various neighborhoods in the city. Their portfolio includes a range of ADU projects that vary in size, layout, and features, reflecting the diverse needs of San Diego homeowners.
One of their notable projects began as an architectural design studio — a 562 square foot structure that was designed from the outset to be convertible into an accessory dwelling unit. The building includes a bathroom, a conference room kitchenette, and a roof deck with an outdoor kitchen. The project also served as a showcase for products from a number of sponsoring suppliers, including Sierra Pacific Windows, Kalwall, EliteCrete, Dixieline Lumber, Azek Decking, Jakob Shelving, Premier Roofing, Challenger Sheet Metal, SignDiego, NatureKast Cabinets, and Atlantis Rail Systems.
Multi-Story ADU Projects Across San Diego Neighborhoods
EHM Construction has been involved in several two-story ADU builds throughout San Diego. In the Mission Hills neighborhood, they are constructing a 790 square foot two-story detached ADU that includes a roof deck and a one-car garage. The second-floor bedroom is positioned to offer views of San Diego Bay, Point Loma, and Coronado Island.
In the South Park neighborhood, two separate ADU projects are underway. The first is a 650 square foot two-story accessory dwelling unit featuring a sleeping loft and a one-car garage. The second-floor great room is designed to take advantage of views toward Balboa Park. This project also incorporates an attic remodel at the existing home, with a newly designed stair element inspired by a storybook aesthetic.
The second South Park project is a larger 800 square foot two-story ADU with a two-car garage. The second-floor bedroom in this build is oriented to capture views of both Balboa Park and the broader San Diego skyline.
