Davood has 40 years of experience in building design, technology and construction. He has worked on all scales of projects, both in the U.S. and internationally with emphasis on housing, office and retail.
Davood is a firm believer that the quality of our wellbeing is tightly connected with the quality of the built environment surrounding us. “As architects, it is our responsibility to make sure that the built environment is in harmony with the end user’s needs, its surroundings, and the natural environment while satisfying functional and financial demands and constraints inherent in each project. That is the essence of our passion and profession, and a key to a successful project.” This belief led him to establish DSH Design Group in 2001.

He continues his hands-on management role daily ensuring each project’s success and client satisfaction through a smooth process. His priority at work, the result is an outstanding design –always on time and on budget.
