THE EDGE OF INNOVATION
Dedicated to cultivating a disciplined creative work environment that rewards rigor, creativity, and integrity, ShubinDonaldson was founded in 1991 by Robin Donaldson, AIA, and Russel Shubin, AIA, with a vision for innovative contemporary design solutions. Meeting the high standards of well-informed clients, their resonating style stems from a balance of authentic material expression and a strategic response to constraints. Their work has challenged a variety of ambitious projects with confidence and ease, perfecting thoughtfully conceived homes with no detail overlooked.


Featured Project:
Montecito Tour-De-Feat for Lynda Weinman & Bruce Heavin
Currently, Robin Donaldson is focused on an exclusive project which could be the most noteworthy commission of his career – designing a home for Lynda.com founders, Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin. The hilltop residence is expected to be fully integrated into its surrounding environment, embedded into the natural landscape to remain completely hidden from a birds-eye view. Composed entirely of concrete, the rumored residence is an utterly innovative structure that only 21st-century technology can create.
