David Burley
David trained in the Bath area with several large architectural firms before moving to Exeter in the late ‘80s. Driven by a passion for architecture and the desire to run his own practice, he founded David Burley Architects in 1986. Over the next 30+ years, David completed projects for a wide range of clients, from local individuals and firms to regional and national organisations, including Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, Pizza Express Plc, and Exeter City Council.
In addition to architecture, David specialised as an Adjudicator to resolve construction-related disputes. He also developed encyclopaedic knowledge of planning policy, making him an expert in negotiating complex planning approvals.
Combining an excellent legal mind with design flair, David applies a practical and strategic approach to every project he undertakes.
