Co-founder of L’OEUF, Daniel has developed a marked expertise in sustainable development recognized across Canada and internationally, also marked in 2019 by the CaGBC’s Lifetime Achievement Award. This valuable expertise, fuelled by his research at the Université de Montréal and his transatlantic network of contacts, makes him a highly sought-after architect, consultant and speaker.

Specialized in public and urban architecture, Daniel puts his know-how at the service of communities with an approach based on a balance between technical reliability, economic feasibility and innovation. At the heart of his approach, the architectural quality of the project always meets that of the public spaces created around it.

He is one of the Canadian pioneers of regenerative architecture, a subject he also teaches at the university. Convinced of the importance of professional-citizen collaboration to co-design our collective future, each project he works on is an opportunity to reaffirm the identity of the place, its connection to its community and its inclusion in an urban ecosystem.

Daniel has participated in and led co-design charrettes for projects involving communities of over 10,000 people. He advocates the integrated design process to define the needs and objectives of each project.

He has recently applied his expertise to two significant projects: Place Griffintown, a multi-unit housing project chosen by the SHQ as a demonstration project and a study for the City of Montreal on “Resilience and a new Accès-Logis standard” for 2021 and 2022.
