Disbrow Iannuzzi Architects is an award winning design studio engaged in the practices of architecture, interior design, and design-build. Located in Ferndale, Michigan, the office was founded by Jonathan Disbrow and David Iannuzzi and focuses on design at all scales including custom residential architecture and multi-family housing, restaurant design, cultural and arts spaces, and modern commercial workspaces. Our work is characterized by compositional rigor, technical dexterity, and strong organizing ideas.

We aim to foster the growth and education of the next generation of architects through a culture of design excellence, mentorship, and community involvement. This perspective drives a vibrant energy that draws on each person’s interests and talents, leading to authentic and enduring designs that attract discerning clients both locally and nationwide. We emphasize a culture of mutual respect and collaborative leadership in which our diverse  perspectives create spaces and environments that are greater than the sum of their parts.
