When the Chumash first settled in this valley they named it “A’Hwai” or “nest of the moon” and held it in reverence as a place of nurturing for creativity and the human spirit. Today, it is a retreat for some. For the lucky ones it is “home”.

Domus Ojai was born out of the creative inspiration we found here. That creativity is put to work to enhance the most nurturing of environments… our clients’ homes.










David W. Ebers, Owner, Creative Force, Majordomo

David has been the hands-on creative force behind the renovation of his own homes and those of friends for over 20 years. His creativity was evident early on and it became clear this was a passion.  He would continue his “corporate” sales & marketing career for the next 15 years, starting in The Bay Area, then on to L.A., back to San Francisco, and then Seattle. With each new city came new homes and with each home, a new set of projects.

After moving to Ojai in 2002, David embarked on the remodel of his 7th home, a Mid-Century Modern, Austen Pierpont-designed property in the Arbolada. With the completion of the second major project, the kitchen renovation, the pull had become too strong. David decided it was finally time to follow his passion.  Domus Ojai was launched in 2005. The passion and creativity he has always applied to his own projects is now translating to his clients’ projects.

David and wife Carolyn enjoy life in Ojai with their two active elementary school age daughters.
