The practice won several national and regional design awards, and was featured in several architectural publications including Dezeen, Elle Decoration, Grand Designs, The Architects’ Journal, Building Design, Architecture Today and Designboom. Since relocating to Los Angeles in 2014 Dan has collaborated with EYRC, ZGF, Walker Workshop and Marmol Radziner prior to re-establishing his own practice, Dan Brill Architecture. In addition to an ongoing career in architecture, Dan continues to pursue a love of painting, cycling, and music. He is currently working on a series of paintings entitled ‘LAX’ (examining the graphic topography of LAX), he cycles over 100 miles per week, and he hosts a live bi-weekly internet radio show (Dan Brill’s Audio Bouillabaisse) every other Tuesday on Gutsy Radio.
