We create inspiring custom home designs that defy the obvious
We borrow inspiration from every design school, be it the rural chateaus of 18th century France or the postmodern perfection of Frank Lloyd Wright. From the outset we endeavoured to explore radical geometry and to allow traditional materials such as glass, steel, wood and stone to play together in exciting new ways, while still paying respect to established design principles.
Modern Home Designs
Those passionate about modern architecture are on a never-ending search for different. They don’t follow trends, they set them. Their embrace of purity in design—be it the minimalist simplicity of concrete forms or the whimsical use of glass and steel—is matched by their determination to advance the architectural conversation. The evolution of what we’ve deemed Natural Modern architecture is a reflection of their demand for progress, as well as the need for a constant dialogue between buildings and their surroundings.
Transitional Home Designs
We believe that design perfection is only possible with a reverence for tradition and a refusal to accept the mundane. Our transitional home designs embrace this ethos, combining timeless elements with tomorrow’s potential to create an eclectic sense of wonder.
David Small Designs creates homes for audacious dreamers who demand the extraordinary.
Our clients are trailblazers who understand how transformative home designs shape people and communities. Their commitment to the success of family, to living a truly interesting life, is surpassed only by the sheer joy they take from taking the road less travelled and constantly reimagining themselves. The DSD School of Design is inspired by their originality. We’re at once modern, transitional and traditional as we aspire to revolutionize the way homes are designed and constructed.
