Services
Dura Architecture was founded out of a passion for designing modern architecture that matters. We serve the greater Jacksonville area. It is our mission to deliver the highest design and craft possible within the constraints of each project. Our vision is to strengthen communities through high-performing architecture.
Danny has been in the architecture and design industry since 1998, and holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Florida. He has worked in offices in Florida and New York City, and is a registered architect (RA) in Florida with an NCARB certification. He is also a State Certified Building Contractor (CBC) in Florida.
Let's be honest: there's a lot of architects out there. What makes Dura different? We deliver a project with a unique combination of vision and realism, from concept through construction. For us, the architect's job does not stop at the delivery of a set of drawings. Construction is the natural impulse of spending somewhere between a week to 10 years designing a project!
We are a family of six and very involved in our community. Our desire in building a home was to incorporate our visual desires along with our view of family and friends (entertaining) into the plan. We needed an architect who would not only have the ability to plan a home that is visually amazing, but also one who could use information about our life-style to influence space, flow, noise, and light.

Sadly I have to change my review on this company. Dura Design & Build stay away from them. I signed a contract for an addition with DURA/EZER thinking that it was a good company but boy was I wrong. The slab he poured is not square or level which makes the walls not level and square. The roof trusses were ordered 100% incorrect of his drawings, I have exposed 2x6's sticking out over an inch on the bottom plates, the plumbing is incorrect honestly... I don't know what else to say the entire project is a complete disaster. When I brought up my issues and concerns he literally told me "I had too high

Dura Architecture is a progressive minded architectural firm based in good design and responding well to Clients' needs. I've collaborated on several projects with principal Daniel Garcia - he is very good at details and making quick decisions that positively impact his designs and his Clients constructions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dura Architecture whether you're looking for a bathroom remodel or large commercial development. Dura is quite capable in all scales of projects and really excels in the Design-Build process.

We worked with Dura Architecture, in the specific with Daniel Garcia, to coordinate all the papers/permits for a Kiosk's project inside the Avenues Mall.
All are done with absolute precision and accuracy, leaving nothing to chance. Very patient, understanding and funny, Daniel is the person that surely me and my husband recommend to work with!!

We have worked with Dura Architecture on two projects and have been thrilled with the experience and result. We tore down a garage and added a 1400 square foot, 2 bed 2 bath in law cottage and two car garage. Every detail was perfectly designed including walls at just the right length for my mom's favorite pieces of furniture. The suggestions he made were spot on. Danny Garcia was very professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend Dura Architecture!

Worked with Danny on a 5,000 sq ft downtown project and he did a remarkable job. The design is classy and efficient. He pays amazing attention to detail. We continue to get compliments from people who see our space. We always enjoyed telling those people about Dura. I strongly recommend Dura Architecture!

Our church hired Dura Architecture to design our new youth facility. We suggested the idea of a "barn" motif, but also wanted the building to be indestructible, up to modern standards and multi-function. Dura produced a creative and unique wrap-around porch design, reoriented our layout to provide a sweet wilderness view and made several design modifications that saved us money. Maybe what's most impressive is that Danny Garcia was willing and able to work patiently with our church committee and help us get unified on our vision. The end result is excellent - we love our "Barn." Since then, we
