“ Working with Shaw & Sons at Playa Vista was a great experience and resulted in a finished product that we are all very proud of . We engaged Ron and his team early in the design development phase . The combination of their vast experience , recommendations , and their implementation of extensive mock-ups proved to be the recipe of a successful design . I look forward to our next project together .” - Matthew Biss , Tishman Speyer
