Dan Barney Portrait

Dan Barney

Architect, Co-Founder


“If I weren’t an architect, I’d be a builder. I’m fortunate to be in a field where I can combine my love for design and construction in one place.”

Dan is the go-to expert at our firm for Automotive Sales & Service and Hospitality. Early on in his career, he had the chance to dive into both hospitality and automotive design. Even though these two areas are quite different, he believes that getting a good grasp of the business is key to creating positive experiences for customers and guests that blend seamlessly with the design and operations.

His understanding of construction means and methods along with coordinating the project team is an area where he serves best. He particularly enjoys participating in solving construction-related challenges with a creative mindset that there are typically a few ways to solve a problem.

With over 25 years of experience and licenses in more than 20 states, Dan is passionate about creating designs that are both beautiful and buildable. He emphasizes the importance of high-quality documentation and clear, straight-forward communication throughout the project.

He often says, “If I weren’t an architect, I’d be a builder. I’m fortunate to be in a field where I can combine my love for design and construction in one place. I want to know everything about a building, from how it works behind the scenes to how it serves the people who use it.”
