DAVID STAY

Dave is a Senior Associate and Project Lead at Elevation Architecture, with over a decade of experience delivering community, commercial, healthcare, and multi-residential projects.

With a background in construction and a deep understanding of the end user, Dave brings a strategic mindset, collaborative spirit, and practical know-how to every brief.

Since joining the Elevation team in 2017, he’s led large-scale projects across Australia with a clear focus on communication and connection. Dave believes that strong stakeholder relationships and open dialogue are key to great design outcomes, and he works hard to make sure every voice is heard.

Beyond his professional work, Dave is deeply engaged in his community. He’s volunteered with his local church and not-for-profit organisations for many years, driven by a genuine desire to see others thrive and reach their full potential. He also enjoys time with his family, cheering on the Brisbane Lions, and supporting local initiatives.

Dave currently lives in Melbourne with his wife and their golden retriever, Frank. He regularly travels back to Brisbane to enjoy the sunshine and connect with the Brisbane studio.
