About
Daniel Weiss is a principal architect and founding partner of Weiss Studio, a Zurich-based practice specializing in residential, cultural, and commercial architecture. With 18 years of experience across Europe and Southeast Asia, his work is defined by structural clarity, material honesty, and the disciplined use of light and proportion.
A graduate of ETH Zurich and former associate at Herzog & de Meuron, Daniel has led projects recognized by the Swiss Architectural Award, the RIBA International Prize shortlist, and Archdaily's Building of the Year. His approach treats every project as a spatial system — not a stylistic object.
