Residential Designs

Residential Designs has been a family-owned business since its inception in 1998. Founded by Mike Mitchell, the company has been dedicated to providing affordable design and drafting services to contractors and homeowners in Valley Center and the surrounding areas. Today, Mike's son, James Mitchell, continues to uphold his father's vision of delivering exceptional design services while keeping the customer at the forefront of every project.

At Residential Designs, we understand that every client has unique needs and preferences. That's why we offer free consultations and estimates for custom home designs, remodels, additions, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Our team of skilled architects and drafter-designers will work closely with you, listening carefully to your ideas, and guiding you through the design process. We aim to deliver cost-effective and timely solutions that meet your desired outcome without sacrificing quality.

Our full-service design expertise includes new custom home design plans, remodels, additions, ADUs, barns, steel buildings, and code compliance. We coordinate all aspects of the process, from design and engineering to plans, title 24, and permitting. Our goal is to simplify the construction project for you by handling the intricate details and ensuring smooth communication between all parties involved.
