“For me there tend to be two types of leaders in architecture: those who are singular in their work ethic and creative vision, and those who in the same way bring excellent design skills, leadership and technical knowledge but also look to collaborate and nurture the best in others. I honestly believe there is no right or wrong in either approach, but I consider myself to be one of the latter.”
With a natural affinity for managing large and complex projects, David is an accomplished project leader. He plays a pivotal role in client liaison and skilfully leads projects and teams with a communicative approach that is clear, organised and collaborative. He is passionate about driving innovative solutions which add value and create better outcomes for all stakeholders.
David has a keen interest in materiality with a focus on the use of timeless natural materials which he combines with an ordered approach to spatial planning and a high degree of technical understanding of how to design and make buildings.
“A project’s success is not only about great design, it’s also about knowing the figures and knowing how to combine both into simple solutions.”
David sits on the Hayball Board which is responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of the company.
