California’s Premier Building Design Studio
Based in Newport Beach, Jean Prescott Studio specializes in custom homes, commercial projects, remodels, and ADUs throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego. We provide architectural design, 3D modeling, construction plans, and permit processing from initial concept through permit approval.
Comprehensive Service Catalog
From custom homes and commercial projects to remodels and ADUs, we provide architectural design and permit coordination, with plans prepared in accordance with California building codes, local city requirements, and applicable ADA accessibility standards.
HOW WE WORK
We discuss your vision, budget, and requirements to establish a clear project roadmap.
Our team creates detailed architectural design plans and 3D visualizations for your approval.
We handle all city submissions and corrections to ensure your project is fully compliant.
You receive your approved plans, ready for construction to begin with total confidence.
The Turnkey Advantage
Most projects stall in the handoff between designer and contractor, and you end up in the middle. We keep design, drafting and permits under one roof, so one person is accountable from start to finish.
Permit Approval Guarantee
We’ve sat across the table from California plan checkers for 10+ years. We know exactly what each city flags, so your plans pass inspection without the usual back-and-forth.
Customized Design Solutions
No cookie-cutter templates. Every architectural design is built around your lot, your lifestyle, and what you’re trying to get out of the investment.
End-to-End Management
One team manages your project from the first sketch to the final permit stamp. You’re not stuck translating between a designer, a drafter, and a permit runner.
Heritage, Leadership & Local Presence
Founded in 2014, Jean-Prescott Studio is an independent California design studio built on precise drafting and long-term clients.
Leadership manifesto
Jeannice Carrillo runs point on every project this design firm takes on over a decade of hands-on work in California zoning codes, coastal regulations, and construction planning. There’s no junior team quietly handling your file. If Jeannice’s name is on the proposal, Jeannice is on your design set, your 3D visualization, and your calls with the city.
We already know your city’s building department. We handle site measurements, walkthroughs and city meetings in person.
