Let’s tell your story

DJMDESIGN is an architecture and design studio founded in Los Angeles by Dan J. Murphy.

Our work is guided by values that shape every detail: harmony and simplicity, authenticity and thoughtful elegance. We design with light and shadow, modesty and innovation, balancing resilience and sustainability with a deep connection to nature. Always intuitive, always community-minded, we craft homes that honor both the present moment and the lives unfolding within them.

At DJMDESIGN, design is not a product but a shared journey; an architecture of story, memory, and meaning.
