In California, Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner have earned themselves a reputation as the go-to architects for dream homes and classic house renovations. As a measure of their credentials, consider this: they’ve now built six homes for Tom Ford and they were the retro-fit architects of choice for the new owners of Richard Neutra’s legendary Kaufmann house.
