About us
DAG Architects — its principals and its employees — is committed to thoughtful design, the architectural profession, and the communities we serve. Since our founding in 1981, DAG has personified the definition of excellence. Our growth and success is driven by a purposefully diverse practice that covers a wide range of project types. This brings an added richness of experience to all projects, and a confirmation of our belief that design makes a difference and can have a positive impact on the lives of the people who use our buildings. Over the years, the firm has planned and designed many different building types, ranging from university and college buildings, fire stations and public safety facilities, hospitals and healthcare, schools, churches, and libraries to multi-story condominiums, offices, and private coastal residences. We have developed design guidelines, master plans, and feasibility studies for state and local governments, colleges and universities, K-12 school districts, and private clients. DAG’s exceptional design talent has been recognized by the American Institute of Architects with many design awards, and the firm was named 2020 and 2007 Firm of the Year by the Florida Association of the AIA, a statewide honor recognizing our contributions in design, service to the profession, and involvement in the communities we are part of.

Under Construction: HCA Gulf Coast Hospital & Diagnostic Center Phased Renovations This multi-phase healthcare campus renovation includes upgrading Imaging and Medical labs, adding a new MRI suite to the outpatient Diagnostic Center, modernizing the Cath lab, and replacing critical infrastructure. DAG coordinated temporary MRI/CT services, evaluated off-site admin needs, and navigated all AHCA reviews. And of course, we are doing all of this without disrupting patient care. Shout out to the contractor, Anderson Construction. #healthcaredesign #architecture #floridaconstruction
