"Shorts" Movie Premiere :: TOMORROW, August 15, 2009!

Eileen Koch & Company INC. will proudly be walking its client, Cambell Westmoreland down the red carpet during tomorrow's movie premiere of highly-anticipated and highly acclaimed summer hit, Shorts (directed by Robert Rodriguez).

Check out the trailer on Slashfilm.com --

Synopsis:
Set in the suburb of Black Falls, where all the houses look the same and everyone works for Black Box Unlimited Worldwide Industries Incorporated, whose Mr. Black’s Black Box is the ultimate communication and do-it-all gadget that’s sweeping the nation. Other than keeping his parents employed, however, Mr. Black’s Black Box has done nothing for 11- year-old Toe Thompson, who just wants to make a few friends… until a mysterious rainbow-colored rock falls from the sky, hits him in the head and changes everything. The Rainbow Rock does Mr. Black’s Black Box one better: it grants wishes to anyone who holds it. Before long, wishes-gone-wrong have left the neighborhood swarming with tiny spaceships, crocodile armies, giant boogers… and outrageous magical mayhem around every corner. But it’s not until the grown-ups get their hands on the Rock that the trouble really starts. Now Toe and his new found friends must join forces to save their town from itself, discovering along the way that what you wish for is not always what you want.


Mark your calendars! Shorts will be in theaters August 21, 2009!

EKC Client David Applebaum Featured in "Homestyles of the Rich & Gated"

David Applebaum, "Archtect to the Stars" and architect/designer client of Eileen Koch & Company, INC., was recently featured in Homestyles of the Rich & Gated --

"Secluded in the midst of busy Hollywood is a small cull de sac country street. It is shaded by old oaks and magnolia trees which protect the country English and ranch style homes from the hot afternoon sun. I stop at an impressive modern glass gate which begs curiosity. It opens with slow majesty. Beyond is the home and work place of Architect to the Stars, David Applebaum. He is younger than I expected considering the illustrious clientele for whom he designed and built homes, ranging from such names as Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra to Cuba Gooding Jr., Diane Keaton, and many more. Other impressive designs include commercial and corporate spaces for Virgin Records, Quincy Jones and the Esprit flagship store, just to mention a few. The list goes on. David Applebaum is warm and unassuming with an infectious smile as he welcomes me in to the life behind the architect. " (read more...)

About David:
David Applebaum has become one of the biggest names in home design and one of Southern California's most highly respected architects. As the head of his own architectural firm based in Bel Air, CA, David's creative vision and talent for abstract design has recently caught the eye of young Hollywood, as the quality and respectability of his former clients, Diane Keaton, Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Cuba Gooding Jr. and many more, are grabbing the attention of all generations. David has proven himself equally adept with both historical and modern designs and has also created some of the most impressive commercial and corporate spaces for Virgin Records, Quincy Jones and the Esprit flagship store. Visit his Website: www.davidapplebaum.com.

Young Hollywood Goes Classic Hollywood
-- Architect David Applebaum Bridges the Gap of New and Old Generation of Stars --

HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. – JUNE 2009 – The latest trend that “young Hollywood” has adopted actually isn’t a trend at all. The current A-list stars want to emulate their legendary “old Hollywood” counterparts. From the clothing they’re wearing on the red carpet to their luxury homes, they want to be associated with the glamour and classicism of Hollywood’s golden era. David Applebaum (www.davidapplebaum.com) is at the forefront of this movement; for many years he has b een known as the “Architect to the Stars.”
Now, with his name still rooted firmly at the top of the hot-list for celebrity home designers, this versatile architect finds his famous style and classic work more in demand than ever before.

Applebaum has built some of the most memorable and iconic celebrity homes for clients like Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Diane Keaton, Cuba Gooding Jr., Rupert Murdoch and Brad Grey to name just a few. His elegant living spaces are truly timeless. Known for his versatility, Applebaum creates home designs that rage from historical to innovative and modern.

It’s pretty clear that the hottest stars in Hollywood today want to be associated with the kind of glamour and refined taste that “old Hollywood” is synonymous for. They know that their home speaks volumes in communicating this message. Who better to give them the status they desire than the designer who has built homes for the very stars they wish to emulate!

Applebaum’s resume truly sets him apart from his contemporaries. His work has been featured in Architectural Digest, In Style Magazine, Home and Garden as well as The Los Angeles Times. In addition to many celebrity homes, Applebaum has also designed some of the most impressive commercial and corporate spaces for Virgin Records, Quincy Jones and the impressive Esprit flagship store.

Now that “young Hollywood” is looking to “old Hollywood” for its latest style, Applebaum, from his Bel Air studio, finds himself at the center of this renaissance. Finally the entertainment industry’s y oungest stars are discovering the secret that David Applebaum and the legends he’s built homes for have known for years – that the “classics” never go out o f style.

For more information or to interview David Applebaum, please contact Eileen Koch @ Eileen Koch & Company INC, 310.441.1000 or email Eileen @ Eileen@eileenkoch.com. Please visit www.eileenkoch.com.
