Lussoro Design + Build serves homeowners in Orinda 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.
Orinda is hills, trails, and that small-town vibe that somehow coexists with being 20 minutes from Oakland and Berkeley. Theater Square downtown, excellent schools, and neighborhoods like Sleepy Hollow and Orinda Downs where mid-century ranch homes sit on oak-studded hillsides.
Homeowners here are modernizing those ranch homes — opening up kitchens, updating bathrooms, adding outdoor spaces that take advantage of the incredible views, and building home offices for remote work.
We help Orinda families make their homes work better for modern life — with smart design, quality materials, and execution you can count on.

Orinda's dramatic hillside properties require geotechnical studies, engineered foundations, and careful grading to manage drainage and stability. Wildfire risk (WUI zones) means fire-resistant materials and defensible space. We work with structural engineers and fire safety experts to design safe, compliant projects that maximize views while meeting all county and fire district requirements.
Yes, much of Orinda is in wildland-urban interface (WUI) zones requiring fire-resistant construction. We use ignition-resistant materials (Class A roofing, tempered glass, non-combustible siding), create defensible space, and ensure vents are ember-proof. New construction and significant remodels must meet WUI standards. We're experienced in balancing fire safety with aesthetics.
Yes! Many Orinda homes have the space and terrain for pools, spas, decks, and outdoor kitchens. Hillside properties require engineered retaining walls and drainage systems. We design custom outdoor spaces that take advantage of Orinda's stunning views while ensuring structural soundness and compliance with county regulations.
Orinda projects require Contra Costa County permits, which take 6-10 weeks for standard remodels. Hillside properties or projects requiring geotechnical review may take 8-12 weeks. We prepare thorough plans, coordinate with county staff, and manage the entire permitting process to avoid delays and keep your project moving forward.
