David Wright Associates

When we decided to build a retirement home in the Sierra Nevada Foothills we interviewed several architects and ended up selecting David Wright, AIA. We were interested in a «contemporary southwest» style with just one living-​level and high energy efficiency. We noted that David had practiced in Santa Fe and had been a leader in the field of passive solar design his entire career.
The elegant result exceeded our expectations and introduced us to structural insulated panel (SIP) technology. SIPS simplified construction, provided the desired fire resistance needed on our heavily wooded site and thermal efficiency we didn’t realize was possible. We ended up with a beautiful, comfortable and functional home we love and appreciate more every year since its completion in 2005.
Our experience with Mr Wright was outstanding in every respect and we recommend his services without reservation.

David Wright designed a wonderful home for my wife and me. We have a piece of mountain property that was very problematic to fit a residence into. I wanted the house to be filled with light and to feel like it was in the trees. David composes his work. Built of SIPS panels, he designed a place that is not only beautiful, but very comfortable. From a deck that encompasses the entire roof to the two story high windows in the living room, there is a feeling of air and space. Many modern buildings feel sterile and hard to live in. That’s not in David Wright’s plans. It is the most comfortable home I’ve ever been in. Visitors never want to leave.
Mr Wright interpreted our desires perfectly, producing a beautiful house that is easy to live in and is energy efficient.
Thank you!
