David Johnson, AIA
West Coast Director
 David Johnson is an accomplished designer who
has demonstrated exceptional leadership during
his 20-year career. He has directed teams from
concept design through client occupancy on an
array of technically challenging and programmatically
intricate projects. Johnson’s portfolio
encompasses planning, interiors, and architectural
design for a range of large-scale international
urban planning projects and commercial and institutional
buildings.
Johnson’s success is defined by his understanding the root of the clients' needs and implementation of those needs into the architecture. He is committed to maintaining clients' priorities, wishes and goals throughout the entire programming, design and construction process. He understands the most primal reasons for a project and seeing those through more sophisticated delivery methods specific to the needs to the project. He is exceptionally sensitive to a client’s schedule and budget. This responsiveness extends to his experience practicing across cultures and using many construction practices around the world.
Among the many technically and programmatically challenging projects he has completed are large-scale high-rises, office buildings, and mixed-use developments in the United Kingdom, Asia, and California along with other commercial, institutional, transportation and healthcare projects. His designs have been published in Architecture, Architectural Record, Urban Land, and the Master Architecture Series. Active in local politics, Johnson is past planning commissioner in Marin County. He remains engaged with several local boards and initiatives in the Bay Area. Prior to joining WM+P, Johnson worked with Cesar Pelli & Associates, HOK, and STUDIOS Architecture of San Francisco. As Director of WM+P’s West Coast office, Johnson extends the capacities of the practice and serves as the primary contact for our clients and projects on the West Coast and in China. |
