David designed a house for me and the process involved converting two old houses into a modern light house. It was very complicated given flying freeholds, shared underground sewers and manholes, and the constraints of the site on the waters edge. At every stage of the design process David came up with innovative solutions and was a joy to work with. The final product is a much admired and lovely home.
