We’re proud to share that David is the recipient of the 2025 North Carolina AIA Gail Lindsey Award.

This statewide award recognizes architects who embody a passion and lasting commitment to community impact and design excellence through advancing a cause, tirelessly working to improve the surrounding environment; performing work efforts with grace, and lifting the performance of all with whom one engages  — all values that have guided David’s work and our firm’s approach from day one.

The AIA Gail Lindsey Award honors the legacy of Gail Lindsey by recognizing individuals, associations, or projects who have made significant contributions to the culture of sustainable design within the Triangle and represent the ideals of Gail’s work.

“What sets David apart is his ability to balance aesthetic vision with practical, community focused outcomes. His projects have breathed new life into historic structures, often in underserved communities, and have fostered a sense of pride and ownership within the communities they serve."

- Liz Parham, Director, NC Main Street

“David’s influence can be felt in the design community, in the public realm, and in towns and cities throughout the United States. Through his example he encourages us all to practice with purpose and passion, and to advocate with leadership for our often overlooked places and people.”

- Ben Cahoon, FAIA
