David W. Woods, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP
David has always had an interest in a wide range of building types ever since he played with his first erector set at age 10. His experience now includes, corporate office buildings, academic facilities, public institutions, museums, health/fitness centers and custom houses. He has practiced for over thirty years since completing his Masters Degree from Washington University with the highest design prize awarded by the School of Architecture.

Before forming an association with Harry Culpen, David was a Senior Design Associate with Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum in St. Louis and in New York. In those years, he designed numerous large scaled projects like; the restoration of Union Station in St. Louis, the World Bank in Washington, DC. and the Philadelphia Justice Center Courthouse.

As a principal at CWA, David holds a particular interest in historic restoration work. He directed the adaptive reuse of One Atlantic Street, Redman's Hall and the landmarked "Holly Houses" into an Environmental Education Center. David also directed the firm's interiors department for such projects as North Castle Partners, GE Capital, Babcock & Brown and Charkit Chemical. Many of these projects required restoration of older buildings. David has designed and managed the firm's work for The Country Club of Darien for the last ten years.
