Leadership:  A Triumvirate of Expertise 

D3PA was founded and is led by a triumvirate of visionary founders:

Daniel Schmidt  Partner | Architect |  LEED AP   DS@D3PA.COM 


Our Focus:  Mixed-Use, Multi-Family projects



At D3PA, we specialize in mixed-use multi-family projects, recognizing the increasing demand for dense housing within vibrant and walkable neighborhoods. Our approach is anchored in creating not just physical structures, but dynamic spaces that foster social connections and contribute to the cultural fabric of a community.


Our work extends beyond traditional design boundaries. We believe that the spaces within a building play a pivotal role in shaping interactions and defining the culture of a place. By pushing the boundaries of conventional architecture, we seek to create environments that inspire and connect. 


D3PA is committed to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions, transforming visions into reality, and contributing to the evolution of modern living spaces. Explore the possibilities with Design 3PArchitecture — where every project is a journey from concept to creation.
