Daniel Greer

We converted a warehouse space into a 2-story office space with a twist (including a slide). Brach design took all of our needs and worked with us to come up with an innovative design that met all of our requirements.

Jennifer Eden

Dave was always a calm and practical presence in our project and his attention to minimizing energy usage in our structure exactly matched our goals. What Dave helped us create has become our refuge, sitting lightly on the Earth in a pristine setting.

Scott Tenney

Brach Design was able to create a beautiful and functional home that uses dramatically less energy than similar homes that are just built to local building codes.

Joe Turner

When someone is looking for a designer that has both a strong feel for aesthetic and for function, you can't do better than Dave.

Tim Beardmore

There is not a ‘one size fits all’ mentality with his firm. Dave has a thorough understanding of the local jurisdictions he works within. This in-depth knowledge saves clients time and money by avoiding costly redesign.

Francis Harnden

I cannot thank Dave and his team enough for the beautiful home we will have for many years to come.

Lauren Barros

We loved working with Dave, from start to finish, and beyond! He is smart, kind, patient, and designs a great home.

Robert Guido

Brach Design brought a substantial expertise for our downtown Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) build in 2020. Our process was easy and exciting thanks to how they interfaced directly with our builders, engineers, and city regulators—removing the guesswork.

Dallen Allred

We loved working with Dave and his team so much we asked him to work on multiple projects with us, as well as referred family and friends to their services. Dave's people are prompt, excellent communicators, and well-versed in the local building codes and processes.

Melody Scheefer Van Boerum

My husband and I have been very happy with Brach Design team’s environmentally conscious approach to residential architecture.

Andrew Garrison

Our home is so comfortable, efficient, and beautiful. Dave's depth of knowledge around energy combined with his creativity is really impressive.

Jeff and Stacy Perkins

Brach Design was great to work with! We had an excellent experience collaborating with Dave and his team to create a design that fit our vision. When it came time to build, they were there to support us. All around, a pleasure to work with.
