Architect Dirk Denison, ’75, always puts people at the center of his workAward-winning architect Dirk Denison was part of the Cranbrook family even before he was born. His parents met and fell in love there, and over the course of the next seven decades, scores of other family members walked its halls. Dirk’s own journey began just down the road at Christ Church, where he attended nursery school before starting at Brookside, on his way to becoming a Cranbrook “lifer.”

The world is truly a better place as a result of your devotion, passion and gifts. We’re all blessed to have shared the beauty of Cranbrook together. Blessings on you, brother!
