Dave Reilly

Dave is a senior licensed architect, director of production, and owner at Trillium Architects Co-operative. He heads education and drawing at the firm. After receiving his Master’s of Architecture from Clemson University, Dave spent three years working in the Arizona desert at Arcosanti, which is a prototype arcology, integrating the design of architecture with respect to ecology. As a construction manager there he organized crews and taught building skills and methods of sustainable construction.

Dave has extensive experience with resorts, restaurants, and hotels, having worked on the Topping Rose House, a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, which features a Jean-Georges restaurant. He was the lead field presence for his firm, delivering his skills in problem-solving to the design team. Dave has also worked at the American Museum of Natural History and the Loft Artists Studios and Galleries in Stamford, CT.

Keeping the lessons learned from the desert, he has long been a proponent of sustainable design and sees working with Trillium as an important part of building on those values.
