Purser White Architecture
In 2022, seasoned architects Dave Purser and Terry White joined forces to found Purser White Architecture, a full-service architecture firm located in Nashville, Tennessee, to serve the national market and the booming middle Tennessee real-estate and construction market with their collective design experience and registration in TN, KY, GA and OH.
While collaborating on several projects in their respective previous firms, Dave and Terry realized a significant synergy they wanted to further explore and develop. With a combined 40+ years of design and consulting, Dave and Terry have the experience and knowledge to guide clients through the entire design and construction process.
