R. Sean Darnell, RA | Associate

Approachable. Materiality-Focused. Craftsperson.

Associate Sean is a technical architect who thrives in documentation yet can easily transition to any role the team needs. His love of materiality in architecture stems from his varied background in craft and helps him determine connections between different materials used in projects. His approach is to let the materials guide the process to blend constructability with beauty.

Sean has practiced architecture in a variety of regions across the United States, which has exposed him to a variety of building typologies. His experience working in diverse areas in the public and private sectors has further solidified his belief that architecture should be ground in the context of place. Walking the area, capturing photographs, and sketching inspirational elements are a few methods Sean employs to translate the design into a functional, desirable space.
