About
As principal of the firm, Darrell Schmitt, FASID, CID, is a Certified Interior Designer in the State of California; his professional practice has spanned nearly four decades. Several members of DSDA's design staff have worked together for over twenty years. The firm's work has been repeatedly honored with awards for excellence, and has been extensively published in books and magazines both in the US and abroad. Schmitt's contribution to the design community has been recognized with many awards, and he was most notably singled out by the American Society of Designers as their Designer of Distinction in 2009, the highest national award granted by the Society, honoring the quality of a designer's career body of work. A member of ASID since 1972, Schmitt has served the Society in many capacities and as president of two different chapters.
Services Offered
Darrell Schmitt Design Associates, Inc. is an award-winning, full service interior design firm of international reputation and experience. Our portfolio includes five-star hotels and resorts, spas, country clubs, residential developments, condominium public spaces, and distinguished private residences across the United States and in countries as diverse as Mexico, The Bahamas, Japan, Indonesia,Cyprus, and Saudi Arabia. Our professional staff is well-versed in knowledge of historical design precedents, which we apply to elegant design solutions geared to contemporary living. Avoiding trendiness in our design approaches, we search for timeless quality and refinement of detail. We design complete environments, from initial space planning to final detail. We do not have a signature style, preferring instead to tailor our designs to each client, resulting in diverse solutions unique to each assignment, representative of our clients' programs and preferences. Sustainability is a priority in our design approaches, and we are well versed in the criteria required for LEED (Leadership in Energy Efficient Design) certification as administered by the USGBC. We recently completed design and construction of the first LEED Platinum (the highest level of certification) certified building in Ventura County, California. Our work strives to delve far beyond the superficial trappings of decor, creating harmonious environments that are truly uplifting for our clients.

Fee Structures
DSDA is generally brought into a commercial project early in the process, as part of a design team which generally includes architect, landscape architect, lighting designer, and other consultants who work together in addressing the many specialties required for large, complex installations. For commercial projects DSDA charges a flat fee based estimated staff time required to take the project from conceptual design through construction documentation, construction supervision, and final installation. Purchasing services for large commercial projects are generally provided by qualified purchasing agents, with DSDA providing specifications for furnishings. For residential projects, DSDA charges a flat fee for design services, and purchases furnishings at net cost plus a percentage.
