Marmol Radziner

Marmol Radziner is a renowned design-build firm based in Los Angeles, California, recognized for its multidisciplinary approach combining architecture, landscape design, and construction. The firm was co-founded in 1989 by architects Leo Marmol, FAIA, and Ron Radziner, FAIA. Marmol Radziner's integrated model of services became a defining feature of their practice, setting them apart in the industry and promoting seamless collaboration across various phases of design and construction.

The firm's rise to prominence began with their meticulous restoration work, notably on modernist icons. In the mid-1990s, Marmol Radziner gained critical acclaim for their restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, originally designed by architect Richard Neutra in 1946. This project highlighted the firm's expertise in modernist architecture and reinforced their reputation for a meticulous, historically sensitive approach to preservation.

Marmol Radziner further expanded their portfolio by venturing into custom residential projects, commercial buildings, community-related urban developments, and jewelry design. Their design philosophy emphasizes a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, often employing sustainable materials and environmental strategies. One such example is their 2007 Desert House in Desert Hot Springs, a prefabricated residential project that showcases their innovative approach to modular construction and sustainable design.

In 2009, the firm continued their exploratory approach with the creation of Marmol Radziner Jewelry, blending architectural elements and minimalist aesthetics into their pieces. This diversification illustrated the firm's versatility and commitment to design excellence across various scales and disciplines.
