DANIEL SOLARES, JR.
Intern Architect
“I believe in working as a Team with my colleagues, contractor, and client to find the best real-world solution to carry out the design vision and meet the client’s needs.”
Danny Solares brings over 25 years of experience in architecture, with a career rooted in thoughtful project leadership and collaborative delivery. He has supported a wide range of project types, including civic, educational, housing, mixed-use, and urban infill projects – guiding teams through all phases of design and construction. His approach is pragmatic and steady, grounded in solutions that balance design intent with constructability, budgets, and long-term performance.
He brings a calm, organized presence to each project, supporting clear communication and productive collaboration across disciplines. His experience working at multiple scales allows him to adapt easily, strengthening both the design process and the outcomes it produces.
Outside of practice, Danny brings a creative sensibility shaped by music and a life rooted in family. A longtime DJ and father of two grown daughters, he values rhythm, balance, and perspective—qualities that quietly inform his work and reinforce his commitment to designing places that serve people and communities.
