FR Review:
Best known for its "hyper-functional modernism," Space International pursues "the beauty of simplicity" with its extremely restrained minimalism. Catering to a younger crowd in the film, music and fashion communities, the firm is careful to consider the social and environmental context of its spaces. The designs "do not use a lot of aesthetic gymnastics" but instead employ a limited palette and humble yet intriguing materials to stretch budgets and imaginations.

Principal Mike Ferguson is said to be personally invested in realizing each and every project to its fullest. Ferguson, who previously worked with Frank Gehry, holds degrees from Clemson and SCI-Arc. His small firm of four has been in business since 1997, and generally takes about eight projects at a time.

Working most often in Hollywood Hills, Malibu and Beverly Hills, the firm's services have been enlisted in places as far away as Dallas, Orlando, Ohio and Japan. Space International takes a few select residential projects between office and retail commissions. These involve significant renovations, additions and new homes going from 1,500 to 6,000 square feet, available to like-minded adventuresome clients. Per-square-foot costs start at $200 and average $350. Larger projects come with a flat fee while the firm charges an hourly rate for smaller projects.

Representative Client Comments:
"They delivered a dream home for us." "John was able to add a lot of subtle touches and details that truly enhanced the design." "He had a wall done in poured concrete pressed with a pine imprint that perfectly matched the 1960s look." "They really know how to bring out the character and style of the home through their keen design sensibility." "We gave John and Mike what we had to work with, which was a very difficult downsloping site, and they simply worked magic with it." "They did not do much work to the house, but really made it special and substantially increased the resale value." "They respect and honor the home." "We have used many from the gang at Hedge, and they all worked well for us."
