David Labocki

Partner & Executive Designer


My love and passion for architecture stems from growing up in my father’s carpentry business. I have been loving getting to design homes, commercial buildings, and places of worship for over 20 years — so much so that in my free time, you will find me designing! I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of creatively using every space in design for the best functionality. I strongly believe that great creativity is the result of collaboration with our team and our clients. I always want our clients to feel like they are valued, cared for, and that we are invested in serving them with excellence. 

What David won’t brag about but we will…

  • This isn’t his first rodeo – David ran a successful residential design firm called Labocki Design for 15 years.  
  • He also spent 20 years as the lead designer at a Design-Build firm working on commercial, institutional, industrial, and interior build out designs.
  • He has won multiple Best of Akron awards for his custom residential home designs.
