Our Team – Daniels and Zermack Architects

Daniels and Zermack’s staff has an unusually high level of professional experience. Each project is led by a principal-in-charge, and staff is assigned to the entire duration of that project to achieve a consistent vision and clear communication with the client. This staff is adept at fully integrating the thousands of requirements and considerations necessary for the success of your building project, and of providing you with an exceptional service experience.

Beyond meeting your functional needs, our goal as architects and interior designers is to design a facility to be an excellent place to work, learn or do business in. We insist that your finished project make you smile every day and make you proud. Moreover, our team strives to make the experience of conducting the project as enjoyable as the final product is beautiful.

Working Here

We strive to maintain an open, inclusive office culture where every team member contributes to the excellence of the office as a whole and to the objectives of projects. Staff are encouraged to excel at all aspects of a project, whether it is the various stages of planning, design and construction or the different aspects of a project such as interior design, furniture selection, signage, lighting design, landscape design, etc. All staff become well rounded design professionals, working on all aspects of a project. We encourage education and professional registration as well as community involvement. Our staff work in an open studio environment including the principals, where all staff can gain experience from the buzz of knowledge and experience in the office. We value well rounded, diverse individuals that allow us to expand our vision and understanding of the human experience. We also promote a work-life balance to keep our staff healthy and happy. The studio is flooded with natural light and has views of the University of Michigan Golf Course.
