Architecture is a three dimensional expression that must be experienced to fully appreciate. We design with intention and use every tool to make your dreams come to fruition. We are one of the only studios to not only design with a computer, but also with a pencil and actual models to fully understand the design and to communicate the deceptively simple concepts to the engineers, builders and owner

We are with you every step of this process. First we listen. Then we work with you to turn your life and style into something that is expressed as your home. And then we stay with you to make sure that what we have dreamt becomes your reality.

I'm a huge fan... Frank Sinatra
As a Business Manager, I will now steer my clients away from any significant construction that does not involve David Applebaum. Your attention to detail, both artistic and financial has made the project a success with my client and myself... Bruce Lagnese
We have loved every minute of working with you and getting to know you. You are a true talent and we are lucky to have you on our team. We both have so much love for you. Thank you for everything you have done on our behalf. You have truly gone above and beyond on our behalf and we couldn’t have gotten to where we are without you. All the love and hugs... Seth Green and Clare Grant
Truly a masterful work of art.... Barbara Sinatra
You have created our dream house... Shari Lewis
Attentive, creative and energetic throughout the entire process... Jeffrey Wasson
I know so many people who have remodeled and almost every one has horror stories to tell, but not me. It was truly and absolutely a pleasure to work with you, to watch your mind work and see the results on paper. Then to see it come to life in so carefully crafted a home is remarkable... Laurie Bernhard
There is not a more talented architect in California. He will be hired again for my next project. If you want the best you found it... Eric G
Being an Interior Designer, I am used to being around different architects and my experience collaborating with David has consistently been special, stress free and wonderfully creative. David truly loves what he does, which shows in the way he works with clients and trades people. I can highly recommend him as an architect... Beatrice Michel
I will never use another architect... Wendy Brazill
David Applebaum is practically a family tradition as my mother discovered him when he was working for the late, great Ted Grenzbach. She recommended him to many of her friends and he has been the architect for my parents, my wife and I, and even our kids. He is adept with many styles as my parent's house is modern, our first home was a traditional Georgian, our second home is mid-century modern, and our kids have bungalows. He knows his way around permits, construction, and budgets; always keeping the client's needs and aesthetics as his primary goals. He is a collaborator with not just us, but the construction crews and consultants. The home construction process can be tortuous, but David always finds a way to bring joy and even fun to a process that many of my friends and colleagues just have not had the positive experiences that we have enjoyed. Quite simply - he cares. If one decides to build, you need a good architect and there is no one Louise and I would recommend but David Applebaum... Stuart Korshak
David created a spectacular redesign/remodel of our ugly kitchen. And a few years after that, we hired him to redesign another ugly kitchen at our new home. It looks spectacular. Over the years we have developed a special relationship-he is an incredible architect and become a good friend. He really "gets" his clients. He is reasonably priced and amazingly versatile. He will likely be designing an addition for my (now all grown up) son. You will not regret hiring David... Jim and Randi Swindel
David was an integral part of a dream team that custom built our home. Without David to oversee plans, permitting and general problem solving we would not have had such a successful project. He was congenial and professional from start to finish and to all that came on board, from the day laborers to the landscape designer. He is very much a team player and always puts the success of the project above all else. He is detail orientated and has a breadth of knowledge from a construction viewpoint which was also invaluable to us. Working on this project with David was a once in a lifetime experience that we cherish to this day... Cuba and Sara Gooding
