About Loni
I bring a unique blend of lenses in home construction, small home and collaborative housing design, project finance, and housing policy. As an ADU Advisor, my focus is helping you make those important first choices with good information, and surrounding you with a solid team of professionals. Then you can move forward with confidence!

Housing design. Previously, as design partner of Graybuilt I redesigned and rebuilt multiple small homes. (They weren't sexy ADUs back then, but actual 400 - 750sf main residences.) I worked in the trenches, swinging a hammer, mudding walls, and laying floors. I learned to make small homes feel rich and satisfying.
During the Recession, I evolved my small house design to make privacy suites around common elements in larger collaborative housing. |

Fiscal project management. Later, I helped project managers track budgets, schedules and coordinate their sub teams to be timely.
ADU advising. I'm an energizer and a catalyst who will help you stay on track and get your project organized. I guide you through the foundational choices of your ADU building process. The crucial start! I'm assembling local professionals who have chosen to excel in small housing design, construction, and finance to help you create strategies that work. (BTW, if you know a great ADU professional who should be part of my team, please send them my way.)
Passion. I'm about creating forms of housing that serve us better than the resource-consuming and costly single family house. I advocate for new kinds of housing finance and policy so we can design and build efficient dwellings that offer us flexibility over the stages of our lives. ADU's and collaborative design are such important explorations.! Think of it as building our own intimate community around us so we can stay, and put down roots where we've grown networks of friends and support. That's healthy, resilient, and wise.
So bravo! You're taking your own step to build what you need.
Let's begin your project together!
