Dave Premi Biography:



Born and raised in Hamilton, David Premi has always been a passionate advocate for the arts. Both as a founding director of Cabbagetown Theatre Company in Toronto and as President Hamilton Arts Council he has led an arts renaissance around the golden horseshoe.

David brings this artistic passion to his architectural practice.



After six years as an Associate Partner with RDH in Toronto, David decided to invest in a city on the rise, moving back to Hamilton and establishing dpai in 2005.



Since then dpai architecture inc. has grown into an award-winning, highly collaborative, and multidisciplinary architecture, interior design and urban design practice which, like David, emphasizes a balance between bold vision and grounded, design-driven solutions.
