Dave Ritchie
Architect, Adjunct Principal
After graduating from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture, then a Master of Architecture, Dave worked at Stone & Webster Engineering, completing a variety of large industrial projects. Finding his true calling lay beyond industrial design, he came to Aspen in 1989 to join Hagman Yaw Architects. In 1994 Dave followed his desire to build a more personal level of client relationships and a more environmentally conscious approach to design by founding his own firm. Running a small office allowed him to explore every aspect of the architectural profession in a deliberately eclectic and broad-based practice, completing over 100 projects in Colorado. In 2007, long familiar with the design and professional culture at Poss Architecture + Planning and Interior Design, he eagerly embraced the opportunity to define yet another chapter in a career defined by variety. Dave’s diverse experience and open-minded philosophy have allowed him to assimilate and nurture the design objectives for a wide range of projects and clientele.
