Daniel Childs

RA, DBIA
Associate | Architect

Originally from Key West, Florida, Daniel brings a thoughtful, place-based perspective to his work, shaped by an early interest in the relationship between culture and environment. As a Project Architect at Hacker, he guides projects from early design through construction, helping to translate ideas into carefully coordinated, well-crafted buildings.

Daniel thrives in collaborative settings, valuing the collective effort behind each project as much as the outcome itself. He is particularly drawn to adaptive reuse and renovation, where existing structures offer opportunities for reinvention and continued relevance.

Seeing constraints as catalysts for innovation, Daniel focuses on creating architecture that balances design intent with performance and longevity. His work reflects a commitment to clarity, quality, and timelessness. Outside the studio, he enjoys cooking and camping with his family.
