One of GDC's specialties is custom homes and remodeling, and the team really specializes in keeping their art as up-to-date as possible, while still retaining the classical elements of design that define great buildings.
These days, the company is focusing on integrating green building techniques and designing homes that are not just harmonious in design but in their environmental impact too. Incorporating an environmentally conscious ethic into their designs is just the latest challenge for a company that has mastered the use of cutting-edge materials and the concept of making big designs work in small spaces.
GDC designers are experts in creating beautiful interiors that feature exotic lighting, including lighting systems designed by world-renowned J.W. McCarter & Associates.
On the materials front, the GDC team is in tune with the latest in man-made and natural materials such as glass tiles and the very latest in audio-visual gadgetry. They have designed smart-homes where everything from a property's lighting to its security system to its air conditioning can be controlled from a laptop screen anywhere in the world.
And GDC has mastered the concept of indoor-outdoor living, making the most of San Diego's incredible climate by designing and building rooms with large retractable doorways that slip away fluidly to reveal a delightful patio or outside dining space. By keeping the outside areas at the same level as the inside rooms, and by minimizing the intrusion of the doorway itself, GDC designers create a space that is filled with light, where a homeowner can be inside, but believe they are outside, basking in the hot Californian sun.

The new school of design thought, and that propounded by GDC, is that kitchens should not be hidden away but should be brought to the fore of a home's living space to become the heart of the property.
So the GDC team treats each kitchen like a blank canvas, carefully selecting, with the help of some of California's top designers and with customer input at every stage, everything from the cabinetry to the countertops to the lighting. Each cabinet should look like a piece of art rather than a piece of furniture is a motto that GDC likes the company's designers to live by.
With exotic range hoods and the very latest in custom appliances, the GDC crew puts together kitchens that are tailor-made to every taste. In one La Jolla kitchen, GDC made a large back-lit piece of onyx the room's centerpiece. In others they incorporated butcher block or stainless steel countertops to suit the homeowners design and functionality needs.
Crucially, GDC focuses on making the kitchen a place to entertain, to socialize and to create wonderful food to be enjoyed in an unparalleled setting.
