Architecture
shaped by you.

A home, a workplace or a new venture begins with an idea of what could be. We help you give that idea form, connecting your goals with the character of your site and the realities of bringing a project to life.

THE PRACTICE

Good design begins
with understanding.

Founder & Principal

Daniel Toth, Founder and Principal of DTA

Daniel Toth Architect is a multidisciplinary architecture and design practice based in New York City and Metro Detroit. Our work spans residential, commercial, retail and interior architecture, with each project shaped around the people it serves. We begin by understanding what you want to achieve, how the space needs to work and what makes its setting distinctive.

Led by founder and principal Daniel Toth, the practice approaches architecture as a response to human nature. That philosophy connects the experience of a space with the decisions behind it: how a plan supports daily routines, how materials relate to their surroundings and how a design develops within its scope, budget and schedule. The aim is to create a clear relationship between your original ambition and the place it becomes.

Daniel holds a Master of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Lawrence Technological University. His background informs a practice that brings design exploration and practical development into the same conversation, helping clients understand the choices that shape their project.

FROM THE FIRST CONVERSATION

A clear path from idea to architecture.

01 / DISCOVER

Understand

We begin with a conversation about what you want to achieve and how you want the space to work. Together, we establish the program, scope, budget and schedule that will guide the design.

02 / EXPLORE

Design

We translate that understanding into design options and visual studies. Exploring the spaces together helps you see the possibilities, weigh the choices and develop a direction with confidence.

03 / REFINE

Coordinate

As the direction becomes clear, we develop the design and coordinate its details and documents. Each step connects the larger idea to the decisions needed to carry it forward.

04 / REALIZE

Bring it to life

We work with the project team as the design moves toward construction, keeping the original goals part of the conversation as ideas become a built environment.

Let’s explore what your project could become.

Tell us about your project and what you hope to achieve. We’d welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you.
