Home Design in South Tampa
Residential design in South Tampa, Hillsborough County: new-home plans, additions, kitchens and baths, ADUs and permit drawings, with a written scope and fee before design starts.
South Tampa is where most of the region's teardowns and rebuilds happen: 1950s block ranches on 50-foot lots giving way to two-story houses that fill the setbacks. Much of the peninsula sits in a flood zone, so new houses are elevated and remodels run into the substantial-improvement rule. Hyde Park's historic district adds design review for exterior changes. We design new homes, second stories and whole-home remodels across South Tampa, from Palma Ceia to Davis Islands and Ballast Point.
Designing for South Tampa homes
Elevated new homes
Finished floors above base flood elevation, with the stairs, garage and street presence worked out early.
New home plansSecond stories on block ranches
Going up is usually the only way to add space on a narrow lot, and the structure has to be checked first.
Additions and second storiesRemodels in flood zones
The 50 percent rule decides how much of an older house can be remodeled before elevation rules apply.
