Daniel Ruark is an independently practicing Architect—a broadly experienced professional with eighteen years of dedication to creating functional, practical, aesthetically pleasing, and inspirational environments for living and  work. 

My practice is a design and service-oriented business dedicated to individual craftsmanship and careful detail, offering comprehensive professional services for which I am accustomed and experienced:  a process beginning from programming and space planning, to complete architectural design from exterior to interior, documentation for permitting and construction, and finally the administration of actual construction.  I am a Registered Architect in the States of California, Utah, and Arizona.

My efforts are focused upon serving the multi-level needs of clients and users.  I work closely with my clients to create solutions that integrate their requirements, the regional characteristics, the site, appropriate materials and construction, environmental appropriateness, and their budget resources—all factors sensitively considered and creatively blended in order to create highly satisfactory and aesthetically pleasing architectural results.  I want to create, along with my clients, better quality architecture rather than building as usual.  I dedicate my efforts to producing building solutions that aspire to enrich the experience and lives of the user as well as become an asset to the community and the environment at large.

My practice embraces a multi-disciplinary emphasis encompassing a broad range of building types.  Residential architecture includes single-family houses, live/work, townhouses, and affordable housing.  Other project types include community facilities, commercial buildings, community centers, churches, healthcare, and academic projects.
