Lussoro Design + Build serves homeowners in Hillsborough 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.
Hillsborough doesn't have sidewalks. It's not an oversight — it's by design. This is a town that values privacy, open space, and a certain understated elegance that comes with one-acre minimum lots and strict architectural guidelines.
We've worked on estates here — custom renovations, pool houses, guest suites, wine cellars, and whole-home remodels that required navigating the town's exacting design review process. Hillsborough expects excellence, and we deliver it.
Whether you're updating a Mediterranean-style estate, building a modern pool house, or renovating a mid-century gem, we bring the same level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and design integration to every project. Your property deserves a team that takes it as seriously as you do.
Luxury-Level Execution
We don't cut corners. The finishes you approve are the finishes you get — executed by craftspeople who understand that "good enough" isn't good enough in Hillsborough.
We Know the Design Review Process
Hillsborough has strict architectural guidelines. We've navigated the process many times. We know how to present a project that will get approved efficiently.
Design + Build Integration
Our designers and builders are one team. No handoffs, no finger-pointing. One vision, one plan, complete accountability from concept to completion.
Discretion & Professionalism
Your property, your privacy. Our teams work quietly, respectfully, and leave the site cleaner than we found it. We're here to build, not disrupt.

Hillsborough has some of the Bay Area's most stringent design and planning requirements. All projects require Planning review, and exterior changes must receive Architectural Review Committee approval. Minimum lot sizes (usually 1 acre+), significant setbacks, and tree preservation requirements mean careful planning is essential. We've successfully navigated Hillsborough's process on multiple estate remodels.
For most Hillsborough projects, yes. The town requires professionally stamped architectural and engineering plans for Planning and ARC review. As a design-build firm, we partner with architects experienced in Hillsborough's standards and aesthetics. We coordinate all design, engineering, and construction phases to ensure seamless execution and approvals.
Hillsborough's review process is thorough. Plan for 4-6 months for Planning and Architectural Review Committee approval, then 2-4 weeks for building permits. Projects near heritage oaks or requiring variances may take longer. We manage the entire process, including neighbor notifications, public hearings, and revisions, to secure approvals efficiently.
Hillsborough clients expect the highest quality: custom millwork, imported stone and tile, European appliances (Gaggenau, Miele, Sub-Zero), hardwood or natural stone flooring, and architectural details that elevate the home. We source exceptional materials, employ master craftsmen, and maintain the level of finish that Hillsborough estates demand. Our recent kitchen remodel in a Hillsborough Tudor estate featured hand-carved cabinetry and limestone flooring imported from France.
