With over a decade of experience working alongside clients, consultants, and contractors in producing complex, high quality design on time and on budget, we have the expertise and integrity necessary to develop and execute your vision.  Skilled as a furniture maker and with a multi-generational familial background in the building trades, Daniel brings an extensive knowledge of materials and construction to bear on every project.  We are committed to engaging each project from initial concept through completion of construction to successful use.

Daniel holds two professional degrees in architecture – a Master of Architecture degree from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the New Jersey Institute of Technology.  Prior to establishing Daniel Kopec Architects LLC, he worked in the offices of Santiago Calatrava, Guerin Glass Architects and Perkins + Will.  He presently serves on the faculty at NJIT where he teaches courses about heating, cooling, lighting and acoustics.  Daniel currently maintains an architectural license in New Jersey and New York. 

At DKA, we believe that simplicity is elegant, that timelessness outweighs trends, and that great architecture ceaselessly provides quiet service.  Straightforward design solutions infused with natural light and organized in an efficient and effective manner to suit the distinct needs of each client are the cornerstone of our firm.

We are also deeply committed to ecologically sound principles and environmental stewardship.  We know that you will be living in your home or operating your building for years to come, so it must be comfortable and efficient.  The energy you will use and its associated costs are central issues addressed in our design process.
