Lussoro Design + Build serves homeowners in Berkeley with full-service design-build expertise. From kitchen remodels to ADU construction, our team brings craftsmanship, local knowledge, and a personal touch to every project.
Berkeley is home to some of the Bay Area's most distinctive architecture — Bernard Maybeck's brown shingle masterpieces, Julia Morgan's craftsman gems, and entire neighborhoods of Arts & Crafts homes that defined California's architectural identity a century ago.
If you're lucky enough to own one of these homes, you already know: the bones are incredible, the details are irreplaceable, and the floor plan makes absolutely no sense for modern life. That "breakfast nook" isn't big enough for breakfast. That "butler's pantry" is where your dishwasher should be. And don't get us started on those single-pane windows.
We help Berkeley homeowners modernize these architectural treasures without erasing what makes them special. Open up the kitchen. Add insulation that actually works. Update the systems. Build an ADU for rental income or a home office. All while preserving the character, the craftsmanship, and the history that makes Berkeley architecture worth protecting.
We Respect Historic Architecture
We've restored brown shingles, Craftsman bungalows, and Tudor revivals. We know how to work with old-growth redwood, plaster walls, and architectural details that can't be replicated. We're not trying to erase history — we're trying to help it thrive.
ADU Specialists
Berkeley has made ADU permitting easier, and homeowners are taking advantage. We've built backyard cottages, garage conversions, and second units for rental income or multigenerational living. We know the code, the process, and how to make it pencil out.
Seismic & Energy Retrofits
We do earthquake retrofitting and energy efficiency upgrades. Foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, insulation, modern windows — the stuff that makes your home safer, more comfortable, and cheaper to heat.
Design + Build Integration
Our designers and builders work together from day one. No handoffs, no miscommunication. One team, one vision, complete accountability from concept to completion.
