Gelare Danaie
Founder, Partner
Who I Am: I grew up in a house full of books, music, and culture. I decided to become an architect at a young age. I believe every place has a story to tell, and my passion is to create memorable experiences in built-environment. I love listening to client’s stories, observing their daily lives, and learning from them. I have lived and worked in four cities across four continents and this has helped me reframe my perspective of life; I am always learning. When I am not working, you can find me skiing with my family, paddle-boarding, running with my dog, sketching in my notebooks, or reading and writing fiction.
What I Do: I have been in architectural business for more than two decades designing different types of buildings. My approach to architectural design has evolved over the years - I have moved from creating forms and structural compositions to designing human experience. I am an entrepreneur and enjoy running businesses. Understanding the clients' needs and serving with authenticity and integrity while concentrating on progression and continuity are my new venture's goals. I enjoy the process of creative design and co-creating experiences with our team.
