StudioDH: Architects of Joy
Our architecture studios are based in the heart of Leeds and York – 2 fabulous Yorkshire cities that are criss-crossed with bicycle routes and studded with yoga studios, where wellbeing reigns and eyes shine brightly! As self-proclaimed architects of joy, it’s a wonderfully inspiring place to be located.
Who are we?
StudioDH is a collaboration of people who are passionate about delivering quality work, founded by the contagiously enthusiastic Daniel Harvey – aka the ‘wellbeing architect’ - in 2019. Daniel has worked in the industry for over 25 years and built an extensive and complete network of professional people who have the skills to deliver all kinds of projects, including experienced consultants, technologists and architectural technicians. He also collaborates with several leading architectural practices to jointly deliver buildings that go beyond the norm and enhance people’s lives.
We are always looking for new opportunities and projects to continue to build our reputation for design excellence and add to our portfolio of extraordinary developments. Please get in touch for a consultation to see what we could do for you.
Daniel Harvey, the ‘wellbeing architect’
Daniel is a chartered architect with an extremely diverse portfolio of national and international projects with budgets ranging from £40k to £200m, as well as an interesting portfolio of smaller scale residential projects. The common thread through all his projects is a focus on the effect the building will have on the wellbeing of those who will live there or use the facilities - anything he designs has to be inspirational so that the building is a pleasure to occupy and enhances lives.
Daniel has created sustainable, stunning buildings in a huge range of sectors, including:
Since 1999, Daniel has worked for several leading architectural firms including; Purcell, DarntonB3, Levitt Bernstein Associates, Proctor & Matthews and KPF. Most recently, Daniel worked at a leading modular construction company in the Architecture Department, where he was appointed Leader of Architecture & Innovation. Some of the projects featured on this website were undertaken whilst working for the above firms - see credits.
As anyone who has met Daniel will attest, he is a highly motivated and innovative architect, with exceptional awareness of people’s needs. He is driven by a desire to improve the wellbeing of others, and brings skill, speed and inventiveness to every project he works on.
“A creative architect with vision, skill, and enthusiasm; coupled with practicality, planning knowledge and awareness of budget. One of a kind - it’s rare to get all these qualities in one architect. We would recommend him to anyone.”
