California Home & Design


Founded in 2015 by Jon de la Cruz, De la Cruz Interior Design (DLC-ID) is a distinguished residential and hospitality design firm based in San Francisco. At his namesake firm, de la Cruz brings his singular vision, flair and fresh approach to each of his projects, from a bustling Italian restaurant in NoPa to a private home in Hillsborough.

Rooted in the classics, de la Cruz’s aesthetic marries modern design punctuated with distinctive vintage pieces and bespoke furnishings. His recent hospitality work, described by The San Francisco Chronicle as “Dinner as Theater” has propelled Jon’s firm into the national spotlight. From the Castro Hotel, to the one Michelin star restaurant Protege in Palo Alto and beloved San Francisco destinations Che Fico and Che Fico Alimentari, Jon demonstrates that whether it’s industrial chic or restrained elegance, his spaces are vibrant and welcoming with an intricate attention to detail.

Building on his firm’s recent success, de la Cruz has a number of upcoming restaurant spaces in California, New York, Hawaii, and Palm Springs. Prior to launching his own firm, the Filipino-American designer and proud San Francisco native served as Design Director for Ken Fulk for six years. Today, Jon is a James Beard Award nominee and the 2017 House Beautiful ‘Kitchen of the Year’ winner. His work has been featured in Architectural Digest online, House Beautiful, and Luxe Interiors + Design.
