SERVICES

Architecture and structural engineering for residential construction.

Two core service lines, plus MEP and Title 24 as an add-on. Every deliverable reviewed and stamped by licensed professionals.

Our Services

Spacial Services is a licensed residential architecture and structural engineering firm based in Palo Alto, serving homeowners, builders, and developers across the Bay Area. Pick what you need: architecture, structural engineering, or both under one roof. If you’re searching for an architect near you, our architects and architectural designers handle new homes, additions, ADUs, and remodels from early concept through complete construction drawings. If you need a structural engineer near you, our team designs framing, foundations, and lateral systems suited to local soil and seismic conditions, and we coordinate MEP and energy plans so every sheet in your set agrees. Every project is reviewed and stamped by a licensed professional. Our architectural services and structural engineering start in the Bay Area and extend to the 48 states where we hold PE licensure, so you get local expertise wherever you build.

Workflow

Work at Lightning Speed

Spacial delivers coordinated architecture, structural, and MEP services from design through permit.

Architectural Design

Licensed architectural services led by AIA-credentialed architects. We work from initial concept through coordinated construction documents, with builder-aware detailing throughout. Every sheet is drafted with constructability and code compliance in mind. Deliverables include floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plans, window and door schedules, architectural details, finish schedules, and stamped construction document sets.

Structural Engineering

Foundation, framing, and lateral systems for residential projects. Our structural team coordinates directly with architectural intent so the structural set you receive is already integrated, not retrofitted. Deliverables include framing plans, foundation plans, beam and column schedules, shear wall layouts, connection details, structural calculations, and stamped construction document sets.

MEP and Title 24

MEP and Title 24 are available as an add-on to a structural engineering engagement. We do not take on MEP-only projects. When layered on top of structural, routing and compliance work is coordinated against the structural set from the start. Included: HVAC layouts, electrical plans, panel schedules, plumbing routing, equipment schedules, Title 24 energy compliance documentation, and coordination overlays against the structural set.

Solutions

Integrated Architectural + Structural

When both disciplines run under one roof, coordination stops being a coordination problem. Architectural intent and structural feasibility are coordinated from the beginning. What changes: fewer review cycles between disciplines, one unified construction document set, and one point of contact through documentation and construction administration. MEP and Title 24 can be added on top.

Scope

Residential projects, clearly scoped.

New builds, remodels, and ADUs. Coordinated from early planning through the finalized construction set.

New Builds.

Custom homes and production homes. Ground-up coordination from architectural concept through stamped construction documents.

Remodels.

Whole-home remodels, additions, and major renovations. Existing-conditions documentation through finalized construction set.

ADUs.

Accessory dwelling units. Flat-fee structural engineering, with optional architectural and Title 24 add-ons.

We work on residential projects across the full range of new builds, remodels, and ADUs. Combined architectural, structural, and Title 24 engagements carry a $65,000 minimum on one-off new builds. ADU structural engineering is a flat $6,000.
