DAS Architects believes that in order to truly deliver on a client’s needs, you must look at space holistically. That any space is a blend of architecture and interior design. That what you put in a room, is just as important as how the room is built. And that you have to take into account what a room will feel like, not just what it will look like.

DAS doesn’t build buildings, or even rooms. We create experiences.

Many architects have a specific look or feel about their work. DAS has a wide variety of styles and inspiration in their portfolio because we believe that what’s important is designing spaces that reflect the client’s needs and desires, not the firm’s.

DAS Architects, one of the country’s top design firms, has developed an exceptional resume of hospitality, retail, corporate and residential projects. Founded by Susan M. Davidson, IDC and David A. Schultz, AIA in 1990, DAS offers a full range of architectural, interior design and procurement services.
