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.
