The spaces in between, fully designed.
From mail rooms to corridors, these everyday areas are where residents experience design the most. Through layered materials, integrated lighting, and curated artwork, each moment is intentionally crafted to feel cohesive, elevated, and thoughtfully considered.
Guided by a luxurious coastal vision, the residences at Vista in Summit at Orchard Hills, developed by @brookfieldsocal , were thoughtfully designed for modern living.
At this home, designed with families in mind, comfortable spaces and flexible living areas come together to create an environment that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable. Inspired by the balance of privacy, connection, and everyday luxury, each space is designed to adapt to the way it’s lived in.
Since 1994, our partnership with Larry Kruger of Kruger and Partners has grown from early days of blueprints and brainstorms into something far greater than the work itself. Across decades, cities, and thousands of homes, it became a collaboration rooted in trust, creativity, and lasting friendship.
At CDC, we value relationships that stand the test of time. We’re grateful for the long-standing partnerships we’ve built and the clients we’ve had the privilege to grow alongside.
This is what design is really about. Not just the spaces we create, but the relationships we carry with us along the way.
Inspired by the natural world around us, we’re seeing a continued shift toward warm, neutral tones layered with rich textures as a defining design direction for 2026.
Earth-driven palettes like soft sands, warm woods, and organic stone, create spaces that feel grounded, calming, and effortlessly refined. When paired with layered materials and tactile finishes, these elements bring depth and authenticity, allowing interiors to feel both elevated and deeply connected to their surroundings.

A Marina Del Rey landmark since the late 1960s, Dolphin Marina was ready for a thoughtful refresh. Partnering with Goldrich & Kest, CDC reimagined the lobby, amenity spaces, and outdoor areas while honoring the building’s midcentury modern roots.
Inspired by its waterfront setting, we created an elevated, airy aesthetic and a seamless indoor–outdoor flow in collaboration with Abramson Architects and SALT Landscape. Together, we created a refined, community-driven environment that resonates with both longtime residents and a new generation of renters.
