Born in Austria and raised in Portland, Daniel has traveled and worked extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. He started independently practicing in 2013 after receiving the Miami Design District commissions during his Master's of Architecture at Harvard’s GSD. After balancing private projects with working in other offices, he founded Daniel Toole Architecture in 2020. With over 16 years of experience, he has designed multiple award-winning private and public buildings, as well as landscapes and master plans independently and with various internationally recognized offices including Studio Rick Joy in Tucson, Barkow Leibinger Architects in Berlin, Perkins + Will in Seattle, and Allied Works Architecture in Portland, before founding DTA. 

A registered Architect in the states of Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, and Florida, he received his Bachelor’s of Architecture from the University of Oregon and his Master’s of Urban Design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He completed additional studies at Columbia University in New York City and Paris, as well as a year-long DAAD research grant from the German government at the TU Berlin. He published a book on his alleyway explorations, Tight Urbanism, in 2010 and has received numerous other design awards and fellowships.

Daniel is an adjunct professor at the University of Oregon School of Architecture and participates on studio reviews at universities throughout the United States and Europe.



Jason Argyropoulos
Senior Project Architect
jason@danieltoole.com

Jason offers a strong understanding of building craft, and is skilled in creating highly legible construction drawings and coordinating DTA’s consultant and construction teams. He provides technical leadership on the office’s most complex projects and is dedicated to building with a high level of authorship and care through a collaborative process. Prior to DTA, Jason worked for a number of award winning architecture practices, including Studio Rick Joy in Tucson, Arizona and Allied Works Architecture in Portland, Oregon.

A native of Southern California, Jason grew up surfing, and became captivated by the meditative and transcendent qualities of light. This early fascination with the ephemeral lead him to pursue photography, and later a career in filmmaking. This interest is still present in his work, using light as a tool to animate and transform space.

A registered Architect in the state of Oregon, he received his Master’s of Architecture from the University of New Mexico.
