400 North Rodeo Drive was acquired by Haseko, a Japan based construction and real estate development company, to create a marketing center for their residential development projects in Los Angeles, CA. When acquired, it was a non-descript office building on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. To provide a dramatic entry, space from the second level of the building was incorporated into the entry hall to create a double-height, vaulted space with an inlaid marble floor.
Mr. Brubaker hired and supervised Giannetti Architects to design the building exterior and marketing center, and employed an artist to create an oil painting of each of Haseko's residential projects then for sale, and these were hung on the walls in the main gallery. He hired and supervised Cal-Pac Contractors to renovate the building exterior and interior.
