With Dan D ’ Agostino
REIMAGINING Home Design
DAN D ’ AGOSTINO ’ S THOUGHTFUL , AWARD-WINNING APPROACH TO ARCHITECTURE AND INNOVATION
Dan D ’ Agostino , AIA , has spent over two decades crafting architectural masterpieces that seamlessly blend form and function . As the founder and lead architect of Plan Architecture in Bergen County , New Jersey , D ’ Agostino ’ s approach is anything but conventional . With an artist ’ s eye and meticulous attention to detail , he transforms spaces into timeless , living works of art .
“ They talk about the term tabula rasa , but in architecture , I don ’ t believe there is such a thing as a clean slate ,” D ’ Agostino reflects . “ You have the sunlight and its subtle shifts during the day , the home ’ s connection to the landscape , and overriding principles that bring the house together .” This philosophy informs every project he undertakes , ensuring that every detail — down to the way light filters through a room — is rigorously considered .
A LIFELONG PASSION FOR DESIGN Born and raised in Hoboken and North Bergen , New Jersey , D ’ Agostino ’ s creative journey began as a child with a love for drawing and a dream of designing roller coasters . He later earned his Bachelor of Architecture from NJIT ’ s New Jersey School of Architecture , and in 2014 , founded Plan Architecture with a mission to create transformative , client-focused designs .
DESIGNING FOR EXPERIENCE , NOT JUST AESTHETICS D ’ Agostino ’ s work stands out not because of a single signature aesthetic but because of an underlying principle that informs every design . “ Our most successful projects are those that are rooted in classical design yet embrace modernism ,” he explains . His philosophy is about more than style — it ’ s about experience .
