400 North Rodeo Drive 400 North Rodeo Drive was acquired by Haseko to create a marketing center for their residential development projects in Los Angeles, CA. As seen at the bottom of this page, it was a non-descript office building at the northeast corner of Rodeo Drive and Brighton Street in Beverly Hills. Haseko wanted the marketing center, planned for the street level of the building, to be designed in the style of an English tea room. 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 selected and hired the architect, contractor and interior designer to renovate the building exterior and create the center much as they would have been in 18th century London, when the interior would have incorporated a mixture of English and French furnishings and accessories. He 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 as seen immediately above. As the project was designed, a left-over space behind the main gallery without a clear purpose became problematic. This became the scene of a large Trompe L'Oeil behind the glass windows below.
