Daniel Joseph Chenin is an integrated architecture and interiors studio specializing in the design of fully conceptualized residential environments.
Founded in 2014, their philosophy is rooted in the idea that designs should be immersive and activate all senses to evoke a range of emotions. They view each project as an opportunity to create an experience with a story arc and a unique vocabulary used to set the visual stage and create a sense of place.
They design from the inside out with a focus on the function, organization, and relationship of spaces—specifically, how their sequencing is experienced. In our practice there is no delineation between architecture and interior design. Their approach breaks down a project into a series of layers. It considers how furniture will be arranged and how the architecture wraps those spaces with biophilic voids to allow the exterior landscape to permeate into the interior environment.
Taking on a limited number of commissions at a time, each project begins as a study into their clients’ objectives, without a preconceived notion or prototypical style. Their process engages the client to develop a complete understanding of their lifestyle, habits, and routines. This allows them to balance their functional and aesthetic priorities with an integrated and curated approach that consolidates the creative vision for all architecture, interior, and exterior elements.
