David W. Gassen, AIA, NCARB

Professional Bachelor Degree of Architecture, University of Louisiana (1978-1984)

As a founding principal of PARTNERS with over 40 years of experience David brings comprehensive expertise in project visioning programming planning design and team building. His leadership on significant projects like the Royal Oak Police HQ Romulus 34th District Court and State of Michigan Emergency Operations Center demonstrates his ability to guide complex projects from conception through completion. David's emphasis on stakeholder engagement and collaborative process has become a cornerstone of the firm's approach. He excels at creating environments where ideas flow freely and all voices contribute to the foundation of architectural solutions. His technical precision and attention to detail facilitate expertise in community visioning project team direction consultant coordination and construction oversight. Away from architecture David's passion for woodworking and fine craftsmanship reflects in his meticulous approach to design. His architectural lineage - discovering his great-great grandfather was City Architect for Prague in the 1800s - and early experiences working on building projects with his father shaped his deep appreciation for the craft of architecture.
