Why Build Custom Homes in Hidden Hills?
In a city where privacy is currency and every estate tells a story, generic plans don’t belong. Here’s why discerning homeowners choose custom design.
Your Land, Your Vision
Hidden Hills lots range from 1 to 3+ acres with unique topography. A custom design maximizes your land’s potential whether you need equestrian facilities, vineyards, or guest compounds that pre-made plans simply can’t accommodate.
Architectural Committee Approval
The Hidden Hills Architectural Committee reviews every exterior change. Generic plans rarely pass on the first try. Our designs are pre-vetted for approval, saving you months of revisions and resubmissions.
Resale Value That Reflects Quality
Hidden Hills estates sell for $3M-$30M+. A thoughtfully designed custom home that respects the community’s character commands premium pricing. Buyers pay more for architectural integrity than square footage alone.

Common Questions About Custom Home Design in Hidden Hills
How long does the design and approval process take in Hidden Hills?
Typically 4-6 months from initial consultation to Architectural Committee approval. We attend committee meetings twice monthly, and because our plans meet all requirements upfront, we rarely face delays or resubmissions.
What does custom home design cost in Hidden Hills?
Our design fees range from $25,000 to $150,000+ depending on project scope, lot complexity, and square footage. We provide fixed-fee proposals after the free consultation—no hourly billing, no surprise charges. Most clients find we save them 2-3x our fee by avoiding costly Architectural Committee rejections and design mistakes.
Why don’t you build homes if you’re so experienced?
By design. Construction firms make money selling materials and labor—creating a conflict of interest. We only make money designing the best home for your budget. This keeps us honest, unbiased, and focused solely on your vision. You choose your builder, negotiate your own construction costs, and maintain full control.
Do I need an architect licensed in California for Hidden Hills?
Yes. All plans submitted to the Hidden Hills Architectural Committee must be stamped and signed by a California-licensed architect or engineer. We handle this as part of our service—you receive fully stamped, legally compliant plans ready for permit submission.
Can you design for difficult lots (slopes, irregular shapes, etc.)?
Absolutely. Hidden Hills’ varied topography is exactly why custom design matters. We’ve designed for steep slopes, irregular lot lines, flood zones, and equestrian setbacks. Challenging lots often yield the most dramatic, valuable homes when designed correctly.
What if the Architectural Committee rejects my design?
In 10+ years serving Hidden Hills, we maintain a 100% first-submission approval rate. We pre-vet every design against committee standards before submission. If revisions are ever requested (rare), we handle them at no additional cost.

What Our Clients Say About Their Custom Home Design Experience
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Their ‘we don’t build’ model was exactly what we needed. No sales pressure, just honest design guidance. The home came in 8% under budget because the plans were so precise. Can’t recommend them enough.
Emily R. – Hidden Hills
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We interviewed five firms. Jean Prescott Studio was the only one that understood our equestrian needs and the Architectural Committee’s quirks. They delivered plans that were approved without a single change. Exceptional.”
Michael & Lisa T. – Hidden Hills
