As the son of a landscape architect, David Cole became aware of the power of good design early on. Now that he is an architect himself, David helps people think in a different way about buildings by teasing out how clients want the space to make inhabitants feel. His ranging portfolio is united by the interconnected nature of buildings to landscapes, the dignity of vernacular structures and the importance of the urban environment.

"I'm inspired to see an increasing interest in quality design and more clients who understand that the buildings we build have real world consequences to the environment."
