DeOld Andersen Architecture LLC (DAA) is an architecture and design partnership based in Omaha, NE. DAA’s practice embraces invention at all scales of design from interior spaces, to buildings, neighborhoods, and cities. We believe design becomes more interesting and successful when we question how physical form can interact with or be informed by the fluid relationships of human interaction, human behavior, and cultural conditions. Design should question the normative circumstances of the existing physical context as well as less visible relationships of how people use space, and the cultural influences that impact the way we design and build. We believe that even the most modest of buildings or spatial interventions deserves a thoughtful consideration of the contextual variables that can play into design.

DAA is licensed to practice in New York State and Nebraska, and the firm holds NCARB certification (National Council of Architectural Registration Boards) facilitating reciprocal registration within the United States and Canada.
