FIRM HISTORY

Since its inception in 1975 as Environmental Space Design, Daniels & Lovelady Architecture has built a solid reputation as a firm providing outstanding design services within a strict budget. The principals of DLA have always been intimately involved with each project undertaken, and our experience, knowledge and dedication to serving our clients have guided us in the production of projects of exceptional design and functionality.

 

Our projects, both new and renovations, include religious facilities, office buildings and corporate headquarters, medical facilities, shopping centers, tenant interiors, department stores, industrial facilities, and land use and master planning.

 

PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY

Our design philosophy is simple. We approach each project, regardless of its size or budget, with the same level of professionalism and enthusiasm – and without preconceived ideas.

 

Our goal is to establish relationships with our clients in order to develop sustainable design solutions that respond to their unique requirements based on their functional needs and existing site factors. The resulting solutions are functionally and aesthetically tailored to provide the most appropriate facilities for each client and site.​

 

To support this philosophy, our firm focuses on three aspects of our business:

• Teamwork. Each DLA team member assigned to a project continually collaborates with each other, with our clients, and with our consultants.

• Quality Drawings and Documentation. We carefully check and coordinate our work and the work of our consultants to ensure plans are complete and accurate. We understand the impact of codes and ordinances, and we are experienced working with city departments and officials.

• Long-term Relationships. A large part of our business over the years has been, and continues to be, repeat business from past clients. We consider our clients our friends and look forward to every opportunity to work together with them again.
