About

Paz Martinez Designs has provided architectural design and interior planning from Beaumont Drive in La Mesa's Mt Helix area since December 2009, operating as a women-owned studio handling residential and commercial projects across San Diego County. The practice covers new construction, tenant improvements, ADU conversions, and whole-house remodels, including kitchen-and-bath redesigns coordinated with finish contractors like Kitchens Plus for cabinetry and countertop installation. Over twenty-two years of industry experience includes prior collaboration with San Diego firms Safdie Rabines Architects, Bluemotif Architecture, and Graham Downes Architecture, building a network that informs current project-team assembly. Garage-to-ADU conversions retain existing foundation and roofline where structurally viable, reducing permit timelines by eliminating new-foundation excavation and Title 24 envelope recalculations. Interior color and material specifications carry through from architectural drawings to finish application, a design-to-execution continuity maintained with painting contractors like High-Point Painting during the final construction phase. Sustainable residential projects have incorporated features such as boulder integration into living-space floor plans and exposed vaulted-ceiling structural framing, preserving existing building elements to minimize demolition waste and reduce new-material consumption.
