Design, Bitches
Co-founded by Catherine Johnson and Rebecca Rudolph in 2010, Design, Bitches is a Los Angeles-based firm which advocates for architecture that is strongly connected to everyday life. ‘Human interaction is key’, says this young American firm. The office’s multidisciplinary team has set their sights on expanding their scope, scale and geographic span. Current projects include Mountain House, nestled in a canyon outside of Los Angeles, and Atwater House, a warm and modern family home in central California.
