At David Coleman Architecture, we believe that a well-designed home is not just a physical space, but a sanctuary that nurtures body and soul. Our approach to design is rooted in Scandinavian modernism, refined over four decades of service to hundreds of clients throughout the United States. We are a small studio, allowing us to provide a personal service to our clients, helping them to manifest their dreams.
Our Approach
We approach every project with inquisitive minds, in-depth conversations with our clients, and collaborative spirits. Our goal is to align with our clients' needs and aspirations in pursuit of a strong, shared vision. We consider abundant LIGHT to be a magical quality of joyful living, endearing and memorable spaces to be an essential quality of PLACE-making, and TIME-less design to be the key to lasting value. These qualities, when combined with an eye toward innovation and sustainability, result in modern, happy homes that serve our clients well.
Our Principles
We believe that LIGHT, both natural and man-made, is an essential component of a joyful home. We bring this magical quality to the center of every space we design. We strive to bring out the best in every site as a means to creating environments that possess a strong sense of PLACE - the key to an endearing and memorable experience of home. We believe that modern buildings should possess a TIMELESS quality that never feels dated. We use authentic materials and building forms to create enduring value.
