David James has never been someone to sit still. From his upbringing in the United Kingdom, his early years were spent in the English countryside surrounded by 18th century farms and buildings.
These stone-built buildings that, as a child, he played in, always fascinated him. The old hand cut wooden beams, the sandstone blocks, hand cut by masons, the foundations laid on compressed clay. Buildings that have stood for hundreds of years, built by simple, yet skilled craftsmen.
In the mid 90’s, work took him to France, where time spent in the mountains and valleys was never wasted. Surrounded by ancient buildings and vinyards, his fascination was piqued even further. Living near to the Burgundy wine region, and later close to Swiss vinyards, he marveled at the construction techniques, and enjoyed the coolness of centuries old wine cellars, as a refuge from the summer heat.
The gentle humidity and the enveloping chill that was felt as the steps led down onto the flagstone floor that had been walked over for hundreds of years by the negociants and laborers as they carried bottles in for storage, to be laid down, and enjoyed by generations to come.
His passion for building and a strong eye for detail have driven his vision of recreating these very structures here in The United States.
