I hired J S D A for a space in the Hollywood Hills, which was originally a dual-use commercial art gallery. The space has an unusual distribution of space, with Spanish Colonial architecture and loft characteristics. Updating this space for modern living and entertainment/work usage, while maintaining its original architectural integrity, and creating a unifying principle for the entire house was no easy challenge. Her attention to detail, flexibility, and knowledge about architectural history from Spanish Colonial to the Vienna Secession were critical to the project’s success. Love Janice!”
