Principal ¦ EDA Architecture

As a principal of EDA Architecture Inc. Mr. Davignon has more than 30 years of experience in the building design and construction industry. His experience encompasses all phases of projects in many different construction types, delivered through varying methods. Kevin's successful projects range from single and multi-family residential to small and large scale commercial developments. Commercial project types include medical, educational, retail, office and assembly buildings and arenas. His experience with building systems includes wood, steel and concrete frame, pre-engineered and tilt-up construction. This experience is enhanced by his knowledge of alternate building methods used in sustainable building design.

Kevin believes in an organic approach to solving design problems, resulting in natural solutions borne from a pragmatic, and often methodical, understanding of a client's needs and desires. Designs not necessarily forced to conform to a given style or set of pre-determined circumstances. Listening to a client, acknowledging their desires and designing to budgets, embodies Kevin's definition of 'architect'. Key to Kevin's organic approach is a strong desire to build sustainably, create healthy interiors and lessen the impact on the environment.
