David is an environmental architect who is a pioneer in passive solar and sustainable architecture, creating buildings that heat and cool themselves naturally. He has designed everything from award winning homes to condominiums and office buildings. We offer finely crafted custom home designs as well as predesigned plans, with completed projects in most states across the country.
We're sure there's something here that will interest you. After deciding we would build our family home in bare land, we spoke to many architects before selecting David Wright to design a custom house for us. The design process was a blast. David quickly came up with the perfect look and configuration for our family. We wanted a home that 'worked' with our lifestyle and he created it.
The kids are close, but in their own space. We both have private offices where we work everyday. The house is open, full of light and has a compact footprint helping keep the construction cost low. David is easy to do business with and flexible, balancing his recommendation with out wants and desires.

This fine modern two-bedroom home and studio/ garage is a year-round retreat located on the Sacramento River near Mount Shasta.
It is designed to be very energy efficient and fireproof.
Inside the two-story great room space, a window wall frames the beautiful river view.
With walls and ceiling provide lively daylighting in the deeply forested site.
Hardwood flooring, wood trim, and natural log column provide a touch of natural warmth along with a cheerful wood-burning stove for year-round cool evenings.

The modest ranch house for a large horse ranch needed a make-over and more space.
The original wrap around porch hid the entry, making accessing the house a mystery.
We enclosed part of the existing porch providing a targeted front door and gracious entry experience.
Adding a Family room over an existing lower and separate garage, provided a space for guests and entertaining.
Opening up and expanding the formal kitchen, dining and living rooms into one great room created a lighter brighter space for daily living family gatherings.

We appreciate a wide range of architectural styles.
Our taste in architecture is like our taste in music, art and food; if it's good we like it.
We particularly enjoy the fusion of compatible individual styles like California Mission and Japanese, "Zen-Mex" or "Victorian High-Tech."
You name it!
Depending on the client's taste, environmental responsiveness, and local suitability, each architectural solution will incorporate a different look and feel.
Each project is an original and unique response to the philosophy of team design, environmental sensibility and vernacular (local prevailing style) sensitivity.

David has a curious fascination with the reuse of cast-off items being reborn into sculptural objects of questionable beauty.
He has been dabbling with the assembly of this "art" for over 20 years.
Evolving thru periods of using left-over: wood cut-offs from construction projects, high tension electrical insulators from unsecured sites, to currently welding disparate found metal objects into mystical icons of abstract, anthropomorphic, and symbolic statement.
Years of dumpster diving and petty thievery have gone into this obsession.
