After working for a number of years in the construction trades David J. Hamby went
on to study Architectural Design and Structural Analysis at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard. David was part of the "Home of the Future" project that later grew into MIT's House_n program. He also received a Certificate in Landscape and
Topography from the Centro Studi per il Territorio in Angiari,
Italy.
Working for residential design firms in Aspen,
Colorado he developed custom home concepts and produced construction
documents with a focus on the texture and connection of building
materials in keeping with the Rocky Mountain environment. He later moved
into private practice first in the Aspen area and then in Hawaii.
Invited to act as project manager in Kona, David moved from Honolulu
to the Big Island to coordinate the drawings for the construction of
a dozen custom luxury resort homes. Since then he
has returned to private practice both in the islands and on the
mainland.
Along with design and construction David's interests continue to include materials science and product development.
