Deeming the former more practical, he followed a straight-up path: BA and MA degrees in the discipline from the University of Southern California and Harvard&rsquo;s Graduate School of Design, followed by two years as project designer for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfak.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Friedman Alice Kimm Architects<\/a>. Since its 2005 inception, his eponymous firm, currently five strong, has complete a broad range of work, including a showroom\/office for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caesarstoneus.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caesarstone<\/a> and seven residences, three of them multi-award winners. It all started with his first ground-up commission: Flip Flop house, a quasi-transparent Venice beachfront property whose owners took a chance on a just-licensed architect.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/dan-brunn-coffee-for-sasquatch-green-wall-logo-1117.jpg\" alt=\"\" caption=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/dan-brunn-coffee-for-sasquatch-green-wall-logo-1117.jpg\" alt=\"\" caption=\"true\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>A green wall incorporates the Sasquatch logo, designed by Rue Song. Photography by Brandon Shigeta.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Though diverse, Brunn&rsquo;s projects speak a common language: a pared-down Bauhaus idiom that he credits to his Tel Aviv roots. Yet they&rsquo;re all detailed to the hilt. Take the 1,200-square-foot <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coffeeforsasquatch.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coffee for Sasquatch<\/a>, completed with an assist from project designer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danbrunn.com\/profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monica Heiman<\/a>, 29. Serpentine benches of terrazzo, Brunn&rsquo;s favorite material, segue seamlessly into beech millwork and a solid surfacing pastry case; a custom powder-coated espresso machine shows the designer&rsquo;s reach.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; max-width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\"><video width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; left: 0px;\" data-account=\"1569970204\" data-video-id=\"5653660397001\" data-player=\"default\" data-embed=\"default\" class=\"video-js\" controls=\"controls\"><\/video><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Up next?
