The first time I came to the SDA facility it was to do some Free-Lance work. As soon as I entered the small Casita at Dave Sutherland’s residence I was quickly reminded of the creative facilities usually found in Metropolitan Cities. When Dave took me on the nickel tour, I could see the companies passion for all things relating to spatial design, from the colors, to the lighting, to the materials used, each space had both form and function. As for Dave’s private office, it couldn’t have been much larger than 100 square feet and yet it had a true executive feel, with a desk, conference area, cabinets, and a full media play back system. I have worked with many companies, but none that live their passion like SDA.
