Matthew Dugally | From Foundation to Finishes: A Transparent and Collaborative Approach to Home Building

On this episode of our Fireside Chat, Ryan Bloom had the pleasure of welcoming Matthew Dugally of Dugally Oberfeld, a high end luxury home builder in the Los Angeles area. As the son of renowned architect Aleck Dugally, Matthew spent his childhood working on job sites alongside his father. His natural talent paired with many years of hands-on experience paved the way for him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Urban Planning and Land Development from the University of Southern California. Since then, he has spent his entire career in custom luxury residential home-building. Matthew’s involvement at Dugally Oberfeld guarantees that even the most ambitious projects are built with the highest technical standards and integrity.

In this conversation, Matthew discusses his firm’s focus on crafting living experiences that take us on a journey. He expands on the repurposing of spaces in a home, and how experiences such as going to the movie theater, eating at the restaurant, or going to the gym have been brought into the home as a result of the pandemic. He shares his perspective on the architect, designer and builder relationship, and the evolution of the developer’s role in this context. Matthew’s approach to work is collaborative, and he expands with Ryan on the importance of team synergy at Dugally Oberfeld. Finally, he discusses his thoughts on the impact of technology on the interconnectivity between indoor and outdoor spaces.
