He believes an architect’s role is to craft spaces that respect the site, provoke sensuous interaction, and heighten the user’s connection with the space. As a very young child, Dan was drawn to Legos as a means to explore building structures and continues to play with the balance of complexity and minimalism in his work. Born in Israel and raised in Los Angeles since the age of seven, Dan embraces an international and experimental approach to design. “In Tel Aviv, I was surrounded by Bauhaus- style architecture,” Dan explains. “The restraint of these buildings taught me that space and how we experience that space are of paramount importance.” As a young architect, he has produced remarkably diverse projects— from award-winning restaurants to single-family residences and commercial showrooms. Consistent throughout each typology is an honoring of materiality, the ability to infuse ethereal natural light, and a tactful “hiding of mechanics.” His portfolio also includes furniture design in a variety of sleek, highly functional pieces offering streamlined solutions for the living room, bedroom, and bath. Prior to establishing his firm, Dan was Lead Project Designer at John Friedman Alice Kimm Architects, where he served as project architect on the National AIA award-winning design of the Los Angeles Design Center. He also taught a Masters studio at the Boston Architectural Center, and served as design studio instructor at Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) and the USC School of Architecture. Dan earned a BA in Architecture from the University of Southern California in 2001 and an MA in Architecture from Harvard (GSD) University in 2005. To draw inspiration from movement and rhythm, he composes music and performs with his band, DLD. Explaining the relationship, he notes: “Architecture should capture the rhythm of a client’s inner being, propelling the user through the space with movement. Good architecture is temporal and evolves as needs and technologies change.” Dan Brunn ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Interior Design - Product Design - Construction Administration ### Areas Served - Los Angeles - San Francisco - New York City - Tel Aviv - National and International ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Dan Brunn Architecture | | Address | 6363 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 503, Los Angeles, California 90048, United States | | Phone | (310) 855-3555 | | Website | http://www.danbrunn.com | | Followers on Houzz | 244 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/DanBrunnArchitecture - X (Twitter) — dbarchitecture - Blog — www.danbrunn.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Dan Brunn Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/dan-brunn-architecture-pfvwus-pf~1167334349) - **Website:** http://www.danbrunn.com - **Phone:** (310) 855-3555 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST - 10 Architecture Firms to Watch - BUILD DIRECT - 15 Best Architects In Los Angeles - OCEAN HOME MAGAZINE - Top 50 Coastal Architects - LOS ANGELES BUSINESS COUNCIL - Design Award - Flip Flop House - INTERIOR DESIGN MAGAZINE - Best of Year Award - The Flip Flop House - **Best of Houzz:** 3 awards (2016–2018), for Design. **Affiliations** - [The American Institute of Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/the-american-institute-of-architects-pfvwus-pf~1350720471) - [AIA Los Angeles](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/aia-los-angeles-pfvwus-pf~1829789113) - [NCARB](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/ncarb-pfvwus-pf~1477640315) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 2 reviews** ### All 2 reviews **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2015** > Dan has more experience and more intimate knowledge of what it takes to build truly breathtaking architecture than anyone I've ever met. I've toured some of his properties and his attention to detail is unparalleled. > > If you find yourself walking down Venice beach, you'll instantly see his contribution to that neighborhood - with two beautiful houses along the boardwalk right next to each other, what may not be immediately obvious is how much car is put into many of the details that make those houses so incredible. > > I hired Dan to update a condo that had a lot of great open space, but was very dated and in need of some serious modernizing. He brought a great deal of attention and knowledge to the project - from the holistic understanding to knowledge of very specialized and beautiful fixtures and appliances. With Dan, you'll get someone who not only thinks of the space and your relationship to it, but someone who will make sure your home works and looks better than you could have dreamed it. **★★★★★ — lbenzvi, Aug. 2015** > Dan designed and manged the complete remodeling of our house. > The final product looks amazing. He made the design and construction process easy by putting a lot of attention to details and spending more time on the design stages. ## Selected projects - [Zig Zag House-Venice Beach, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/zig-zag-house-venice-beach-ca-pj-vj~954112) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 33 - [The Diplomat-Wilshire Corridor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-diplomat-wilshire-corridor-pj-vj~957413) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Flip Flop House-Venice Beach, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/flip-flop-house-venice-beach-ca-pj-vj~954079) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Wrap It Up- Encino, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wrap-it-up-encino-ca-pj-vj~1237104) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Fold Up House-Walnut Creek, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fold-up-house-walnut-creek-ca-pj-vj~957275) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Hayvenhurst-Encino, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hayvenhurst-encino-ca-pj-vj~957332) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/dan-brunn-architecture-pfvwus-pf~1167334349) ## Ideabooks - [Color](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52555812/list/color) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/danbrunnarchitetcure) ## Community Q&A **Q: how were the shelves installed?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Using custom made stainless steel brackets that are recessed into the wood and are installed before the drywall **Q: What color is used on outside of island?
