Davin Hong AIA
Founder and Principal
I founded Revital Design with a conviction that great architecture should do more than create beautiful buildings. It should help people and communities thrive.
My career has taken me from the classrooms of Harvard and Rice University to major architectural projects around the world, including the FDA campus and the American Greetings headquarters. Through that experience, I learned how to bring creative vision, technical rigor, and collaborative leadership to projects of significant complexity and ambition.
But my life in Baltimore changed how I thought about the purpose of my work. I became increasingly interested in how architecture and urban design could address the challenges facing our communities and help create places where people can flourish.
I established Revital Design to bring the experience and design ambition of a major architectural practice to clients who want their projects to make a meaningful difference.
Today, I work closely with nonprofits, institutions, developers, and community stakeholders to translate ambitious ideas into thoughtful, practical design solutions. I believe that the most successful projects begin with listening, asking the right questions, and understanding what matters most to the people they serve.
Whether we are designing a building, planning a neighborhood, or imagining a new community destination, my goal is to help clients realize the full potential of their investment and create places of lasting value.
OUR MISSION
To create innovative design solutions that serve clients, communities and planet.
REVITAL DESIGN
Revital Design brings the experience and creative ambition of a major architecture firm to a personal, principal-led practice dedicated to projects that matter. We partner with nonprofits, institutions, and developers to transform ambitious ideas into exceptional places through architecture, planning, and urban design.
We believe every project presents an opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Our approach combines rigorous thinking, imaginative problem-solving, and close collaboration to help clients navigate complexity, make informed decisions, and realize the full potential of their projects. We bring the same commitment to design excellence and attentive service to every project, regardless of its scale.
Our goal is to create places that are functional, beautiful, and inspiring—places that enrich lives, strengthen communities, support economic vitality, and respect the planet. We believe great design should not only fulfill a project's immediate needs but also create lasting value for the people and communities it serves.
APPROACH
We Solve Complex Design Challenges
We apply a comprehensive approach to deliver projects that are successful by every measure. In all our work, we endeavor to find the “elegant solution,” designs that are resolved with simplicity and without excess. Our goal for every project is to balance the visionary with the pragmatic, in order to create places that are uplifting, functional, and efficient.
We Help You Make Confident Decisions
We know that every project is a significant investment with significant implications. With such high stakes and infinite possibilities, a project can be daunting for any client. Through a process of in-depth investigation rooted in careful observation, research, and analysis, we will go beyond presuppositions to help you define your goals and make the best informed decisions.
We Bring People Together Around a Shared Vision
We understand what it takes to deliver a successful project. It begins with a process that engages clients as active participants. We believe that good design emerges out of a collaborative process. As such, we also recognize the value brought by strong multidisciplinary teams. Because of this, we are very selective in choosing teammates to ensure we can deliver the best service.
We Make Great Places of Lasting Significance
We approach every project with the human experience in mind. In the end, the built environment should be made to help people thrive, enabling them to be free from inefficiencies, dysfunction, dehumanization or alienation. Places should promote happiness, community, collaboration, comfort, function, productivity and health. From this philosophy, we endeavor to create a built environment that holds lasting significance. This is the complete picture of sustainability, one in which the social and the economic is valued with the environmental.
