Step 3: Concept design + layout planning

By Cali Dream Construction | January 09, 2026 | San Diego

A strong layout focuses on:

• An efficient kitchen wall (not oversized, but functional)

• Natural light without sacrificing privacy

• Storage (people always underestimate it)

• Comfortable bath access

• Laundry planning (even if compact)

Pro tip: In smaller units, a few inches matter. Door swings, furniture clearances, and window placement should be intentional, not accidental.
