I find great pleasure working with people. In early design sessions, we discuss preferences and share experiences. We’ll talk about the flow and feel of space; form and function. Getting to understand each client procures the best design for them.

Condominiums - Renovating Common Property

David Baker Design offers unique services to Condominium Associations and Property Managers. As multi-family buildings age, upgrading to meet new codes can be extensive. The building envelope, windows and doors, balconies and interior common spaces may need large scale repair or replacement. Special Assessments are never welcome but DBD works with your Owner’s Association, Building Manager, Structural Engineers and Building Science Engineers to present the best repair solutions for long term investment. DBD presents owners with options for an updated aesthetic, making the most of their asset with new, modern and attractive appearance.
