About Woods + Dangaran
Many firms describe their work as “transformative”—architecture as an accomplished fact. At Woods + Dangaran, we create modern homes through dialogue and exploration. By collaborating closely with our clients throughout the design process, we are better able to inspire them with the finished product. By working closely with trusted tradespersons, we can deliver work that is uncompromising in craftsmanship.
Working across the country, we design holistically and at every scale: from integrating architecture and interiors to creating custom furnishings. The result are projects that are subtle and disciplined, pure in form, and focused on realizing sublime experiences of space and light. Each building is a carefully curated journey through indoor and outdoor environments that are quietly luxurious, elegantly fluid, and warmly modern.
Brett Woods
“Architecture should speak to you emotionally and make you think. It should create a healthy dialogue between people, so you can stand back and appreciate what it does for society.”
Joseph Dangaran, AIA LEED AP
“If you’re going to create something physical in this world, it should have intention and craft. Architecture should communicate its construction, its systems, and its soul to the user.”
