About Us
A Los Angeles design and build firm that offers experience and extensive knowledge of green architecture and sustainable landscape design.
Busch Design Build is a thirty year old family-owned business that designs award-winning sustainable architectural structures and landscapes that blend functionality and form to create inspired spaces. We have been in the design and construction industry for over 30 years, and have achieved an unrivaled reputation in our field.
With an unwavering commitment to providing our clients with elegantly and environmentally friendly spaces, we have become the premier build and design firm for those seeking Los Angeles Green Healthy Remodeling, Chemical Sensitivity Construction, pH building design and eco Construction services.
Busch Design Build’s president and founder, Douglas Busch, has sought out some of the best design talents, bauBiologists, environmental doctors and toxicologists, and inventors from around the globe to meet the needs of diverse and demanding clientele. We firmly believe that design is a cyclical process that should incorporate elements of site, plan, form, volumes and use into a stylistically coherent whole.
That is why we thoroughly analyze each site before beginning our work, regardless of whether it is in or out of doors, so that we may assess the climate, light, flow, circulation, and other less tangible elements of a space. Busch Design then conceptualizes the two-dimensional layout, taking into account the existing topography, the surrounding area, views, wind patterns and the intrinsic energy of the area to create a design that is both inspiring and Eco-conscious.
Whether you are trying to achieve an updated space that feels warm and welcoming within your home, as well as healthy or would like to create a landscape that is more environmentally friendly and tranquil, the Busch Design Build team can provide you with the services that you need, and a personalized experience that is unparalleled in the industry.

My husband hired this company
Busch Design Build has wonderful architectural concepts. Doug designed my husband’s studio. He is knowledgeable in all forms of construction, and my husband’s demands were not only met, but exceeded his expectations. Twenty years later, my husband loves what Doug did as much as he did when it was first completed. That’s great design!

Doug did a complete renovation for us, adding a second floor as well as redesigning the property. He couldn't have been better to work with. He's incredibly talented and collaborative and it doesn't hurt that he's a wonderful person. He was always open to changes and found ways to save money during construction. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Comment from Busch Design Build Inc.:
This project was totally enjoyable. The clients were open to our ideas and the final vision was realized. It is Zen in feel and calming to be in the environment during the day or evening. The landscape lighting is spectacular. Thanks to all for a fantastic opportunity to create such a wonderful property.

Doug did business with my husband
I love the work of Doug Busch. As an art and architectural historian and artist, I know high quality design when I see it. Doug's work is the best. I'm tempted to buy another home just so Doug can redesign and rebuild it. He has an artist/architect's eye and exquisite up-to-date tastes. He can be trusted; he has integrity. Check out his amazing work on line.

I would recommend Doug Busch to design and build any type of structure. Doug designed and built my beautiful studio in Venice, Ca, and there is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful to him for his design and solid construction. He came through on price, and finished the project on time. I could not be happier with our relationship.

Doug Busch did not just renovate our house in Santa Monica. He brilliantly reconceived it. He thought about flow and light in ways I could not have imagined, about the relationship between indoors and out, about functionality, and of course about beauty, and modernity, and about how rooms create privacy or bring families together. He was a joy to work with, in that I loved his ideas and also the fact that he never tried to override our own taste in art or vintage furniture or our huge library. His workers were terrific; I trusted them with my keys. It broke our hearts to sell that house; it worked for us in fantastic ways after Doug was through with it, and though it wasn't large or fancy, it was a pleasure to look at from every angle, and to live in. His wife Lori Bruce Busch designed an extraordinary kitchen. We moved across the country and I wish we could have flown them to New York to design our next home.

We have had the pleasure to work with Lori and Doug for many years. They are each skilled in their respective areas of expertise. It's not often you find a team that offers the whole package for you, design and construction, and we look forward to their phone calls to see what they have envisioned in their next project.

BDB did an amazing job with my remodel of a Malibu 1 story ranch house. Doug's skillful design managed to take our 2 bedroom 1 bath house and create a beautiful, contemporary 4 bedroom 3.5 bath house. He was always able to see things from a different perspective. The concepts and design he brought into the remodel made our tiny, old, little house into a spacious work of art.
