We are small by design.

DLA Architecture Studio is a boutique practice focused on interior renovations in healthcare and community care environments as well as commercial interiors.

We are a team of architects, interior designers, engineers, owners, maintenance personnel, general contractors and subcontractors. Our founding principal, Danielle Lawson, is personally involved in all aspects of a project, to lead the team from outset to completion.

Principal Architect AIBC, MRAIC, LEED AP BD+C

Danielle Lawson is a licensed architect known for her hands-on, collaborative approach and attention to detail that allows her to carry projects successfully, from inception to complete. With a focus on the healthcare industry, she has demonstrated leadership in renovations, expansions and new builds.

Danielle received a Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Psychology from the University of Victoria in 2009, followed by a Master of Architecture from the University of Calgary in 2012. Her passion for architecture is driven by her background in Psychology and an interest in the human condition. She believes that the design of spaces where we spend much of our time can have a profound effect on how we live, work and play.

Our collaborative approach focuses on maintaining quality service and building ongoing relationships with open communication throughout each project. Our team works closely with clients during all phases of a project, from pre-design analysis and feasibility studies through to construction and delivery.

We are well-versed in balancing user needs with stakeholder requirements to deliver thoughtfully-designed spaces on time and on budget.

Our team wouldn’t be complete without our Chief Wellness Officer, Hobbs.

We love our clients. Building and maintaining trusted client relationships is a key element of our success.

As a result, we only accept a limited number of new clients / projects each year. Visit our contact page to see if we are currently accepting new work.
