Founded in 1997, David Johnston Architects is a full-service architecture and planning firm
emphasizing quality design and a hands-on service for residential, commercial and mixed-use
projects. Focusing predominantly on residential architecture at its beginnings, the firm was
guided by a simple principle: "to create livable and vibrant residences within the vision and
context of the surrounding environment." Over a decade later with two busy offices in the
Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado, DJA is now leading projects of varying scope and scale
throughout the country and beyond. As the firm has grownand diversified, the original vision
has also evolved. "To create sustainable, livable and vibrant places by finding a balance
between the social, environmental, economic aesthetic contexts of each new location."
Today DJA proudly offers a wide range of services to provide a holistic approach to the
general real estate process - from design through development, ultimately achieving a more
sustainable product that satisfies the clients vision as well as the community. These
services include land use planning, urban design, interior design, architectural design and
administration. This integrated approach allows the firm to increase the quality and
efficiency of a project from conception through completion, ultimeately achieving an economy
of scale that will be essential as we move into the future.
With two licensed architects supported by a team of designers, planners, project managers
and production personnel, DJA is well positioned to handle the diverse range of challenges
that any project may pose, regardless of scope and scale. With a focus on sustainability,
LEED accredited designers and associates with academic degrees in sustainable design and
development guide the DJA process by way of the fundamental principles of green design.
Conscious planning, architecture, building practices and material use ultimately fulfills
the firms mission of creating sustainable places, buildings, and communities of people. |
