After 12 years of collaboration, over pizza and red wine, these two old friends with remarkably similar approaches to life and work teamed up. David & Christian made the partnership formal w/ Alvarez & Vincent LLC, and set up shop in the heart of Santa Monica.

Born in Spain, raised in NYC, David now calls LA home. His pragmatism is his talent. As early as architecture school he began his practice of layering disciplines as a way to find new solutions to creative problems. David’s talent is seen in the many projects where he is working across the fields of architecture, design and education. Most importantly, his work is his joy, surrounded by good people and getting to draw everyday.
