Development | Architecture Collaborative Information

Some of the most useful work we do happens before anyone draws a building. Development | Architecture Collaborative (DAC) is an architecture firm with offices in Columbus and Chicago, working on projects throughout Ohio and the Midwest. We bring architecture and development consulting together to help developers, property owners, investors, and community organizations understand what is possible before committing to a direction. That might mean evaluating a site or existing building, understanding what zoning and code will allow, or determining whether a project makes sense before significant time and money are committed. We work for the owner, not as one, so our job is to give you the information you need to make the decision. When a project moves forward, we stay with it through planning, architectural design, permitting, construction documents, and contract administration. Our work spans multifamily and affordable housing, adaptive reuse and historic preservation, mixed-use, education and community facilities, retail, hospitality, commercial, and workplace projects.
