Rudin Donner Design Inc.

Based in Santa Monica, California, Rudin Donner Design Inc. creates residential architecture defined by sharp roofline junctions, tactile brick and weathered timber pairings, and precise geometric openings that frame the sky. This portfolio provides a clear reference when detailing low built-in millwork as spatial dividers in primary bedroom suites or configuring covered outdoor decks to bridge twin gable volumes.

Aerial exterior rendering of dark-clad multi-volume residence with pitched metal roofs by Rudin Donner Design Inc.

Aspen, CO

An aerial rendering precedent demonstrating multi-volume residential massing with dark vertical cladding and intersecting pitched metal roofs integrated into a sloping site.

What we like about this project
An integrated covered deck seamlessly bridges two distinct gable wings.

Geometry
An articulated multi-volume massing featuring intersecting pitched metal roofs and vertical slat cladding, cascading down a sloping green site with a prominent raised outdoor terrace.
Facade system
Vertical slat wood or metal rainscreen panels over dark volumes.
Structural guess
Timber frame or light gauge steel framing with pitched truss roofs.
Spatial scale
Two-story residential scale, fitting comfortably within a natural landscape.
Lighting
Bright direct daylight casting clear shadows from the roof overhangs and trees onto the volumes and ground.
Atmosphere
Clean, crisp digital rendering capturing a serene mountain residential retreat.
Environmental context
Sloping rural or suburban meadow with scattered trees and distant open horizon.
Spatial experience
The composition creates an intimate connection between clustered gabled wings, outdoor deck spaces, and the surrounding green landscape.
Composition rhythm
Repeating vertical siding rhythms contrasting against large planar roof sheets.
