==Burnham Memorial Design Competition==
In 2009, at age 61, Woodhouse's firm won a private design competition for the [[Burnham Memorial]] in Chicago, beating out 19 other competition submissions.

David Woodhouse Architects’s design solution has three primary elements – a Corner, Overlook, and Lawn. The Corner formation of two memorial walls depicts elements of Burnham’s plan of downtown Chicago on the exterior and invites visitors to step inside for a near-panoramic view of the plan’s achievements. The Overlook forms a timeline of Chicago’s evolution from undisturbed prairie to the present and beyond. The Lawn, which slopes down to the waterfront, offers a grassy expanse from which to view the skyline and the lakefront. A three-dimensional scale model of DWA’s design will be on display today at the offices of the Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA Chicago), along with all of the conceptual designs created as part of the competition. The scale model and all competition entries will be featured in an exhibition opening on Friday, August 21, 2009 in the T. Kimball and Nancy N. Brooker Gallery at The Field Museum.
