Daniel Marshal Architects believes that architecture is a ‘generalist’ profession which engages with all components of an architectural project; during conceptual design, documentation and construction phases.

Daniel Marshall Architects pride themselves on being able to holistically engage with a complex of architectural issues to arrive to a design solution equally appropriate to its context – site and surrounds – and the unique ways in which their clients prefer to live.

Be it an urban, coastal or countryside setting – whatever the topography of a site, and the characteristics and subtleties of its surrounding context form key drives in the resolution of architectural space and form.

DMA knows every client has specific requirements and preferences, but the company believes there is a certain commonality in the way New Zealanders tend to live.
