Meet Dagan Koffler, the visionary behind Dagan Design and Construction, who's redefining architectural aesthetics with his organic design philosophy. As we journey through Dagan's career, we uncover the layers of his design psyche heavily influenced by organic materials like stone, natural wood, and big timbers. His most recent project, a large estate, perfectly reflects his collaborative spirit as he teams up with an outside designer, creating a magnificent reality from an ambitious design.

Navigating the wave of sustainability, Dagan's practice stands as a testament to green architecture. The scale of his projects, a testament to his overcoming obstacle skills. In the quest to build an eco-friendly future, we discuss the challenges encountered in large-scale projects and how they are overcome. With a special focus on the process of pre-construction agreements, feasibility studies, project selection criteria, and the permitting process, we explore the collaboration between Dagan Design and Construction, engineers, and other stakeholders.

Dagan candidly shares how maintaining personal relationships with clients sits at the core of his business model. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as we delve into the potential implications of artificial intelligence on the design and construction industry. We discuss the costs associated with building a sustainable home, and how Dagan harmonizes his design vision with client demands. Aspiring designers and builders, take note as Dagan shares his advice on breaking into the industry, managing client relationships, and balancing entrepreneurial and on-site responsibilities. Tune in for a deep dive into the world of design and construction with Dagan Koffler.
