    From David Designs

  • David did a wonderful job designing our new bathroom addition and renovating the two bedrooms the addition impacted. He came up with multiple options and plans for where our new bathroom could go in our apartment. He handled all aspects of drawing up the detailed plan and working to get permits. He also did a great job working with us on aesthetic and design of the bathroom as well as the two bedrooms-- from choosing fixtures to picking out tiles. We're very happy with the results and love our new bathroom. The bedrooms also look great!

  • I was fortunate to collaborate with David, an excellent architect, on my recent kitchen renovation. My prior kitchen was a nightmare - dysfunctional and cluttered with wasted space. David listened attentively to my needs and presented several stunning and practical design options. His meticulous attention to detail ensured a flawless finish, and the end result exceeded my expectations. Now, my kitchen is the heart of my home - a perfect blend of form and function, ideal for both cooking and entertaining.

  • One of the most memorable projects he led was an exhibition showcasing student architecture work. David oversaw everything--from spatial layout and artwork display to the overall flow and experience of the event. The result was a beautifully executed, gallery-level exhibition that reflected not only his eye for design but his ability to bring people together through thoughtful, intentional spaces. Anyone who works with David will experience firsthand the care, craft, and clarity he brings to every project.
