levitt architects

David Levitt leads the Boulder, Colorado based studio along with other talented designers and architects. David is originally from Philadelphia, PA. He attended Cornell University where he received his B.A. in Cultural Anthropology and Yale University where he received his Master of Architecture degree. After working on various large-scale civic, museum and cultural projects for the international firm of Mitchell/Giurgola Architects, David moved to Boulder in 1997 and set up the practice of Levitt Architects. Focused on creating meaningful residential architecture and public installations, we have projects in Boulder, Aspen, and Los Angeles. Architect’s Statement Our firm’s work is a labor of love. Whether collaborating with clients to produce a shared vision or doing our own development work, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of artistry, design and construction. Light We have always prioritized working with light as the most important ingredient in our palette of materials. Even more significant than brick, wood and plaster is the immaterial material of light. It shapes our rooms, reveals the character of building materials, and determines the emotional tenor of our spaces. The proper use of light, both natural and artificial, determines how we feel in a space. The quality of this feeling is our ultimate priority. Spaces that Just Feel Good Our spaces just feel good. This is our aim, our goal, and the ultimate litmus test of our success. We focus on the proportions of spaces, the texture and color of materials, and the quality of light, to bring our architecture to life. Modern but Warm One of the potential pitfalls of modern architecture is creating spaces that look great in magazines but feel cold and heartless in person. We create spaces with great geometries and WARMTH. Bringing the Outside In We do not see any distinction between designing the site and designing the residence. Our approach is to fully integrate interior and exterior spaces into a seamless, flowing, whole.
