About Us

Founded in 2014 by principle designer Daniel Cordova, Cordova Studio offers a classical approach to design and architectural remodels. Born and raised in the high deserts of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Daniel was surrounded by natural and architectural beauty all of his life. Having grown up as an equestrian studying the intense and demanding discipline of Dressage, Daniel’s attention to detail and devoted work ethic was ingrained in him from a very young age. His passion for interiors and architecture comes from a long standing interest in history and world studies that was instilled in him by his family from a very young age. From the beginning, Daniel has always looked to better his surroundings by imparting a sense of simplicity, order, and symmetry. Having studied interior architecture at the Art Institute, Daniel went on to work for two of Los Angeles’ most prolific and talented design houses. His first job out of school was for the renowned designer to the stars, Jeff Andrews. Daniel worked with Jeff for 4 years, completing numerous projects for A listers such as Ryan Seacrest, Michael C. Hall and Jamie King, before being offered a position with world class designer Kerry Joyce. While at Kerry’s studio, Daniel was quickly promoted to director of interiors and assumed the responsibility of overseeing projects all across the country, including Aspen, New York, and Los Angeles. During this time Daniel developed a fluency in both traditional and contemporary styles which he carries forward to his work today. Now, as Daniel oversees the design team at Cordova Studio, he continues to create a broad range of work, from city and country homes to historical estates and ground up construction. The end product is always a refined and livable home that reflect the personality and sensibilities of the clients.

Testimonials

I can't recommend Daniel highly enough. He designed our house in LA and our house in Atlanta. He's a true artist. He's smart, visionary, innovative, and a lovely person to work with. He understood our aesthetic and was able to expand on it and come up with ideas and solutions that we would never have found on our own. Daniel's work exceeded all of my expectations. Both houses are beautifully designed but, more importantly, they feel like our homes. His taste is impeccable and I trust him 100%.

David Warren, Client

Dan has excellent taste and always came up with great ideas that we would never have thought of. Plus he was always mindful of budget and finding a cost effective way of getting what we wanted. He was diligent, professional, always on time and aware of keeping everyone on a timeline. And if there was ever a problem, he was always part of the solution to fix it.

Larry Taub, Client

Daniel's talents as a designer are matched only by his integrity as a person. As new homeowners with a limited budget, we were lucky to find someone who not only had superlative style, but who also had our best interests at heart. The concern was always that someone of Daniel's caliber would also have expensive taste. But at every juncture, he was always happy to collaborate and work within our parameters. That's not to say he ever compromised on vision. He just made his vision accessible.

Andrew Laurich, Client

Daniel has worked on a number of our homes and consistently delivers beautiful results. He is professional, organized, and talented. Although he is a leader in his field, he remains patient and available throughout the design process. We highly recommend Daniel.
