DA Architects + Planners

At DA Architects + Planners, we draw inspiration from the west coast. This provides us with the opportunity to create buildings that reflect their purpose and environment. The spaces between buildings can be as important as the buildings themselves. Moreover, this can help to enhance the urban fabric. Thus, our work is based on a core concept of placemaking. Our architectural projects mostly adhere to a present-day architectural design. The quest for sustainability and utilizing energy effectively is part and parcel of the west coast. This modern architectural design philosophy fits well with the architecture of contemporary cities. Our buildings must be efficiently assembled, combining construction materials with systems and very thoughtful architectural details. Projects are guided by a philosophy of being open-minded and willing to engage in the entire design process with the client, stakeholders, and the entire integrated design team. Many of our projects involve public consultations, which have a significant impact on design outcomes. Clients, stakeholders, and the public are actively listened to and consulted. This is an honest fact-finding approach, and we listen to hear their feedback about the project.
