David M. Schwarz Architects (DMSAS) is a design firm that sees architecture as both a service and an art. The central tenet of our work is crafting sustainable, human-centered places in stewardship of our  public realm; it is a philosophy we have studied and developed through our planning and design projects in urban environs since our founding. We established DMSAS in 1978 in Washington, DC, which is still the location of our sole design studio. The firm employs an architectural staff of 35.

“His philosophy is centered around contextual architecture... Regardless of use, all of his buildings are seen as interactive parts of a larger whole. He designs buildings of appropriate scale and detail to serve the people who use them.”

- George Dean "Geordy" Johnson III
