Isaiah McDaniel

Isaiah is a young architect focused on thoughtful design, honest materials, and environmental responsibility. Isaiah has experience with ADUs and designing for alternative and multi-generational living. He believes architecture has an ability to shape the way we live together, as families, as neighbors, and as cities. He is honored to be a part of that process on projects large and small.

Isaiah’s final project in graduate school, designing a public toilet facility, received the Richard Morrill Award and his portfolio was recognized with the Thomas F. Ellerbe Scholarship from the Minnesota Architectural Foundation. He recently received the Rapson Traveling Study Award to study climate responsive urban design and architecture in Vienna, Brno, and Prague.

He and his wife, Maura, live in a 1911 red brick duplex in Northeast Minneapolis they share with family and their loving dog, Ollie. When not designing and building, Isaiah enjoys spending time outside, cooking for family and friends, and carving wooden utensils in the tradition of his Swedish and Norwegian heritage.
