DAVID ESTERLINE.
ARCHITECT & DESIGNER
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
To achieve good architecture, is to achieve peace of mind for its occupant’s both physical and mental well-being. It should respond to the needs and aspiration’s of the owner and the existing environment. Everything has its place and function. And, every small detail must be considered with rigor. In every design decision, the question of ‘why’ must be answered. The natural environment provides that answer.
ABOUT ME
Husband, father, triathlete, entrepreneur, architect. I love designing, from a ninja warrior course for my daughters, to improving the learning environment of schools. I love being in nature and taking care of my health.
