Need drawings for permit for existing greenhouse project

Hi,

We want to convert our patio into a greenhouse and had already put the frame in when we got a violation notice from the city.  Now we need to find someone to draw a plan that we can submit to the city for a permit.  It's an extremely simple job...all the architecture firms we could find online seemed like overkill for this, with their portfolio of sleek modern homes.  Can anyone recommend someone who would be willing to do a small drawing job like this?

You may not need an architect; we worked with designers for our project who use the CAD software to create designs, submit plans to the city for permitting, and help navigate that process.  Our designers were Dan and Charlotte at Hanomoco Design in Berkeley.  They may be willing to take on a smaller project.

Hi. I would recommend Annette Diniz as your architect. She is great to work with and cost effective compared to other architects/firms. Here email address is dinizannette [at] gmail.com. Good luck!

You might connect with the people at Drafting Cafe (draftingcafe.com) and 510-251-2511 in Oakland as they might be able to assist you. It is a small firm which deals only in residential design and can help you with drawings and the permit process if you wish.

We worked with Christine Choi for our kitchen and bathroom remodels, she gave us the drawings and might be able to help with your project, she can be reached at christine [at] clstudioarchitecture.com or 215-410-8537
