Through innovation, research and building on smart, highly creative solutions that embody our clients' brands, we advance the field. As an employee-owned firm, our diverse and purpose-driven individuals bring new ideas to life, while changing the status-quo.
Community Involvement
DA's team strives to be agents of change not only for our clients but for our local community. Through DA Reach (the philanthropic arm of DA Design Atelier) and our firm-wide ties to the DA Design Atelier Diversity in Design Fun and Internship, DA employees seek to extend their influence past the built environment and into their community.
Our Commitment
The ways in which we develop, design and construct our built environment has a tremendous impact on our world. Buildings account for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions and are a leading source of construction waste, energy use and water consumption. DA is committed to building a better quality of life and a more sustainable planet through the work we do for our clients and the industry-leading standards to which we adhere.
