THE STUDIO
At Daniel O’Connor Architects we have been providing creative design services for over 25 years. Based in New York City with satellite collaborators in Europe, the studio brings together the experience of designing and building commercial and residential projects in both the United States and Europe.
Since the beginning of our prolific practice, we have completed over two hundred projects ranging from residential lofts, townhouses, restaurants and commercial spaces to high-end retail stores.
Our portfolio is eclectic and covers a wide range of project types and styles.
Every project presents the opportunity to design something unique.
We offer a Boutique service, a very personalized approach, hands on with every project. We are reliable experts in design and construction, with a meticulous attention to detail. Our approach is intensely collaborative. Our dedication to quality is expressed in every phase.
Our practice comprises of professionally licensed multilingual staff, supported by an external group of talented consultants, engineers, design professionals, and real estate experts.
We are driven by the love for New York and the passion for great design. In fact, most of our work is concentrated in the New York metropolitan area and many of our built spaces are visible throughout the city.
By working in such a fast-paced, competitive and costly environment, the firm brings value to the table, delivering beautiful, functional, durable spaces, on time and on budget. We love clients with a vision, most of them becoming repeat clients over the years. Our goal is to facilitate the construction process making it a smooth positive experience for them. By building a solid relationship we help implement their dreams and tell their story through our designs.
As designers, we understand that your space must be inspiring. Even the humblest program must turn into something beautiful.
A European sense of craft and detail prevails. A knowledge of how things are built beyond American standards allow the team to come up with unique, original solutions, often working with fabricators and designers from all over the world.
We adopt all the latest tools of the trade, 3d modeling and rendering. However, every project starts with pencil sketching, as the most immediate connection to inspiration.
As LEED certified professionals we are at the forefront of environmental stewardship. Whether choosing local materials or selecting mechanical systems, we believe that a project must be sustainable, and we must minimize the impact of our projects on the environment.
OUR GOALS
To establish a solid relationship with our clients, allowing us to strategically share our knowledge and passion.
To facilitate the construction process, implement our client’s vision in a seamless and orderly fashion.
To deliver beautiful, functional, durable spaces, on time and on budget, to the highest standard of care.
To achieve our client's goals efficiently, with technical precision.
HOW WE ACHIEVE THEM

By capitalizing on a strong personal relationship to translate your vision and challenges, into a feasible, comprehensible plan.
By applying a meticulous, hands-on attention to detail and dedication to quality in every phase of a project.
By mapping out a strategy, a guiding idea, and schedule for the entire project.
By building a long-term relationship with you, we support your needs as they evolve over time.
