CEO/Author

The firm is headed by David Supple (CEO and Founder), an alumnus of Tufts University, former standout Lacrosse player, father of two little ones, passionate advocate of the client benefits of full-service Design Build, and a proponent of the true role of the Architect throughout history as Master Builder. David has built NEDC from an idea into a dynamic and cutting-edge multi-million-dollar creative firm over the past 17 years that has been directly involved in over 100,000 square feet of renovation projects over the years throughout the Greater Boston and Metro-West Areas. These projects have been featured in local media, including Remodeling Magazine, Boston Voyager, Modern Luxury Boston Common, Modern Luxury Interiors and The Boston Globe. David and NEDC’s recent caring community work during Covid has been featured on NBC10, NECN and Boston25. NEDC was additionally recently awarded a Guild Quality with Distinction award as well as Best of Boston 2022 by Boston Magazine and Top 50 Interior Design by Modern Luxury Boston Common.

“Lifting Spirits with Spaces,” NEDC’s motto, bespeaks their focus on creative sustainable design and its ability to affect positive spiritual change in the lives of their clients. David and his team are currently completing the remodel/conversion of a client residence in nearby Somerville into a Passive House–the gold standard for energy efficiency that greatly reduces a building’s ecological footprint and one of the first of its kind in Massachusetts.

“Design Build and the return of the Architect to its original role as Master Builder are subjects I've grown passionate about over the past two decades. Having graduated from Tufts with a degree in Architecture I found years of academic theory to be woefully inadequate when confronted with real life building practices and techniques. To address this imbalance, I took a job as a carpenter to learn to actually BUILD what I could previously only design. I'm now extremely proud of the team I've built over the past two decades—true professionals in architectural design, planning and construction, and just sincere, caring people. We do it all for our clients in one Design Build package—the way the Masters did it for thousands of years, crafting spaces for those moving and changing the world.” - David Supple, CEO NEDC - Boston
