Originally from the Basque Country in the southwest of France, a region renowned for its strong cultural heritage and ancestral architecture, Dorian Bernard brings a unique perspective to his work. After completing his studies in Art and Architecture in Montpellier, Dorian relocated to Malibu in 2018, just a month before the devastating Woolsey Fire. This event thrust him into numerous fire-rebuild projects, deeply influencing his career and inspiring him to volunteer as a wildland firefighter to better understand fire behavior. Dorian is a proponent of mid-century modern design, valuing clean lines, functionality, and environmental harmony, alongside foundational principles like the golden ratio. Beyond architecture, he finds solace and balance along the Pacific coast, surfing and hiking through the scenic landscapes of the Santa Monica Mountains.
