Ron Radziner and his partner Leo Marmol started in the late 1980s as young residential architects with a somewhat novel approach: They would not only design homes, but build them too. Thirty years later, Marmol Radziner has 200 employees, and Ron and Leo are both in the Interior Design Hall of Fame. But they still do as much in-house as possible, from design and construction to producing a line of furniture and even jewelry. On this episode of the podcast, Radziner speaks with host Dennis Scully about the Richard Neutra house that jump-started their career, working with fashion designer Tom Ford, and the risks and rewards of doing every element of a project yourself.This episode is sponsored by Minted. LINKSMarmol RadzinerDennis ScullyBusiness of Home
