Malibu Coastal Retreat

“I interviewed four architecture firms and chose dSPACE because I was impressed with their ability to think through a complex project and simplify it. And, most importantly, because dSPACE had passion and were capable. I'm not a typical client because of my background in real-estate and construction -- I was building a team, and it worked extremely well. My project started as a raw space on the top floor of a condominium high-rise that was not designed to be a stand-alone apartment. There were mechanical and structural challenges, but it had some of the best bones in the city and I didn't want to pass that up. There were no financial surprises and that was delightful. I was trying to stick to a relatively modest budget. I know that in this type of project there is really no such thing, but we were able to deliver the project for less than 30% of my neighbor (who had a similar raw space). That difference really did come down to the thoughtful and innovative design that dSPACE delivered.”
