The current practice, D&A Architects was started in 1977, by Ivor Daniel as Daniel & Associate Architects. The practice grew through amalgamation with SVA into the development of a national & international practice, returning to Daniel & Associate Architects in 2008. Through this period the practice was involved in a wide variety of project types both local and internationally.
Strong and active associations with other practices and individual architects have been a dynamic driver of growth within the D&A practice, with the retention of a core group of talented young architects maintaining continuity and enthusiasm for architecture. By balancing experience & youthful dynamism, the practice has a broad based vision developed on the varied experiences and creative pragmatism of its members,
The practice operates from studios in Cowies Hill, Durban and Wellington, Western Cape. The Durban practice is currently accredited with BEE level 4 status.
