Senior Architect,

Director of Production + Owner

Dave is a senior licensed architect, director of production, and owner at Trillium Architects Co-operative. He heads education and drawing at the firm. After receiving his Master’s of Architecture from Clemson University, Dave spent three years working in the Arizona desert at Arcosanti, which is a prototype arcology, integrating the design of architecture with respect to ecology. As a construction manager there he organized crews and taught building skills and methods of sustainable construction.

​

Dave has extensive experience with resorts, restaurants, and hotels, having worked on the Topping Rose House, a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, which features a Jean-Georges restaurant. He was the lead field presence for his firm, delivering his skills in problem-solving to the design team. Dave has also worked at the American Museum of Natural History and the Loft Artists Studios and Galleries in Stamford, CT.

​

Keeping the lessons learned from the desert, he has long been a proponent of sustainable design and sees working with Trillium as an important part of building on those values.
