2-story ADU build above garage in Los Angeles city

[Daniel Loane]

Hi all!

I am living in Los Angeles city (near Long Beach) and have a 3-car garage (660 sqft) with a bathroom permitted in the 60s. Bought the structure when it was essentially converted to living space already and would like to convert the garage into an ADU and build a second story on top (total ~1200 sqft).

I am looking for a trustworthy and affordable architect to help with the design & permits. Any recommendations? 

Thanks!
