FAME is a residential architecture and interior design studio founded by French Architect & Designer Marina Bourderonnet and American Architect David Bruce Lee.

Our full-service boutique firm is defined by its distinct design vision, wide-ranging experience, and highly personal approach. We specialize in large-scale custom homes, full remodels, and intimate renovations, and are recognized for our sensitivity to each client’s lifestyle and our ability to translate their aspirations into an ideal home.

Design Principles

Our design philosophy for visionary homes

FAME was founded to push the boundaries residential design. Each of our projects begins with a concept specific to the client and the site. We integrate architecture and interior design for a holistic approach and are guided by five principles: a home should be unique, beautiful, smart, cinematic, and extraordinary. Like the senses of the human body, each principle represents a distinct quality, and together they form an Elevated Living™ experience.

  1. Unique: Your home is the attire of your environment. It should be tailored to you and rooted in its site.
  2. Beautiful: Your home is a sculptural object, inside and out. It should be beautiful from every angle and throughout the day.
  3. Smart: Your home is a high-performing living machine. Its systems should deliver comfort, convenience, wellness, and sustainability.
  4. Cinematic: Your home is a sequence of experiences. Like a film, it unfolds through movement, light, and interaction.
  5. Extraordinary: Your home should make a statement. It should be an honest expression of its values and meaning.

“FAME is providing, in my humble opinion, the best product & service out there. They deliver exceptional quality that rivals all LA architects while being reasonably priced and willing to navigate unique circumstances. I would absolutely recommend them to others. I had spent significant time searching for an architecture team. I was looking for a skilled team at a reasonable price. I had a unique set of circumstances and David and Marina stood out from the rest. They excelled at their capability and work product while being something that I could actually afford. This is one part of many where working with FAME really stood out: I had experienced other architects seeing me as just a dollar sign whereas David and Marina saw me as a person & understood the vision. We were able to co-create something beautiful. They were with me from the beginning to completion. I am forever grateful. Their team from the beginning was engaged and efficient. I enjoyed meeting with them, they visited the site, I shared my preferences and style, and then not long after designs were presented. Their designs were forward-thinking, to my aesthetic (modern), unique & inspiring. I was working through getting approvals for a fire rebuild. This is no easy task came with many unexpected challenges working with LA County. David and Marina delivered every time. Working with county planners the requests could be frequent and the turnaround time limited. David and Marina were able to adapt quickly to an ever-changing landscape and turn things around exceeding the timeline expectations every time with me and LA County. Working with them was fun, efficient, and reasonably priced, with excellent work product from start to finish. Their communication is some of the best I have ever experienced. I felt like they were my partners the entire way from the beginning to completion. They were always thorough, efficient, and reasonable. Their creativity really impressed me, they came up with beautiful designs I had not seen before. The final design exceeded my hopes and expectations. They are incredible designers. Truly pioneers in the industry. FAME exudes professionalism through and through. They are wonderful people who love what they do, and it shows! They were excellent partners to have on this project. Their services exceeded my expectations for the value of my investment. If you’re hiring FAME, you are making a wonderful choice. FAME is 2nd to none.”
