Danny Forster & Architecture is a consortium of architects, designers, urbanists, filmmakers, storytellers, technologists, inventors and authors that approaches each project with an open mind and a wealth of experience. Although no DF&A project looks just like another, they are all fundamentally united by the belief that each building should transcend its program. That’s what elevates a building to a piece of architecture, and that’s how architecture contributes to the life of its city and to the lives of its occupants.
This guiding principle has spurred DF&A to produce a series of groundbreaking projects and to lead the way toward the next frontier in building. From a tower at the World Trade Center to the world’s tallest modular hotel. From a Museum of Ethnography in Budapest to an environmental center in the Seychelles. From Taylor Swift’s Manhattan home to the interior of every Aloft Hotel in the world to a 20-acre resort development for the Shinnecock Indian Nation. And to a partnership with Berkshire Hathaway that aspires to no less that industry-wide transformation, an adoption of modular building at an unprecedented scale.
Because DF&A is an architecture firm with the assets of a production company that does interior design and branding and VR–because, in other words, it has the capacity to produce both a hotel tower and a TV show–it approaches each project with a sense of limitless possibility, ready and willing to invent a process or a solution if none exists.
DF&A’s clients understand that they will get more than they ask for when they hire DF&A. More ambition, more innovation, more effort, more interaction with the firm and with the creative community that surrounds it. They will get the answers to some questions they didn’t know to ask, and solutions to problems they didn’t see. And they will get, at the end of the process, a building that goes far beyond their expectations.
