Thoughtful Design. Practical Solutions.
Every project begins with understanding the client’s goals, the site, and the requirements that will shape the project.
We approach architecture as a balance of design, function, technical requirements, and constructability. Whether designing a restaurant, transforming an existing commercial space, planning a new home, or adding an ADU, our goal is to create spaces that work well, feel considered, and respond to the people who use them.

Residential Architecture in Los Angeles
A successful home should respond to the way its owners actually live while making thoughtful use of the property’s opportunities.
We provide residential architectural services for new homes, additions, remodels, and ADUs. Each project is developed around the client’s needs, the existing property, applicable zoning and building requirements, and a clear architectural vision.
Our residential services include custom homes, home additions, major remodels, ADUs, space planning, construction documents, and permitting.
Design, Permitting & Project Coordination
Good architecture requires more than a strong design concept. It also requires an understanding of building codes, zoning, accessibility, agency requirements, and the permitting process.
Sheida Moradi Architects works with Building & Safety departments, Planning departments, health departments, and other local agencies throughout California. Our experience includes commercial tenant improvements, restaurant and food-service approvals, change-of-use projects, accessibility requirements, residential additions, ADUs, and other projects requiring coordination with local jurisdictions.
We also coordinate with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and energy consultants to help maintain consistency between the architectural design and technical documents.
