Architecture that makes your life better.

dSPACE Studio is an AIA award-winning residential architecture firm, based in Los Angeles and Chicago, dedicated to personalized, multisensory designs that enhance your health and well-being. We specialize in contemporary single-family homes, interiors, and landscape design.

This contemporary residence, designed for a site with panoramic views, embraces the awe-inspiring landscape with bold cantilevers, layered volumes, and operable window walls that dissolve the threshold between indoors and out.
