My husband and I used the David Small team for a home renovation project, which ended up being close to a new build. We were thrilled with the service and overall design process with David and his team. They were very professional and helpful in bringing our vision to life. Their creativity and guidance to help us overcome some obstacles in order to achieve what we were looking for, just goes to show how amazing they are at what they do. I would highly recommend David Small for anyone looking to build a new home or renovate their existing home.

We have been working with DSD for nearly two years as we navigated a very challenging property that required multiple regulatory compliance and certifications. Dave gets directly involved and together with his team, they really do take input and ideas from the home owner, transferring them into achievable architecture that is attractive and livable. Multiple changes, with major changes, have resulted in a design that we love and will be the darling of the neighbourhood. Thanks to DSD, we can now start building our dream home!

Sean Morris

We have been working with David Small Designs to design our dream home using their signature ‘natural modern’ design language. We could not be happier with how the design has turned out both inside and outside and have thoroughly enjoyed the process thus far. They are clearly very good at what they do, which is architectural design, but they are also very communicative, punctual and professional. They also provide ‘one-stop shopping’ type of service, including interior design and obtaining permits. We are very pleased with our working relationship with DSD and would highly recommend them.
