David Small Designs

David Small Designs is an award-winning architectural and interior design firm based in Oakville, Ontario, proudly celebrating 30 years of experience and more than 2,000 completed design projects.

It would seem that David Small was born to design homes, both his Father and Grandfather were builders and developers, specializing in single family homes. Growing up with such a “heritage of housing” ignited his passion for the business. He started David Small Designs in 1996 as a one-man, home based operation. Today it’s a collaborative team of 20 individuals committed to providing exceptional service and passionate about creating beautiful, functional custom family homes.

Design Matters. Our Clients Matter More. This is our motto. It defines our daily focus, the reason we come to work each day and the reason why homeowners continue to trust us with their most important (and most valuable) possession, their home.

Design matters. The intelligent, practical use of space. The way each room and every detail flow beautifully together. Getting the design process right from the beginning translates into a smooth construction process and the creation of a home that seems, to the neighbourhood, like it has always belonged.

So yes, design matters. But we’ve based our business on the principle that our clients matter more. Each design starts by truly understanding our clients. The design depends on them; their desires and values, their design style and lifestyle…every detail of the home is subtle reflection of them and their family.

This is our motto because it ensures that every day, every decision, and every design is based on putting our clients first.
