“Designers must continue to evolve using inspiration from fashion and product design to help the creative mind evolve from business as usual. I think pulling hyper-local arts and culture are more important now than ever. Authenticity is expected and the idea of a contrived composition no longer validates a sense of place. We strive to create something original and timeless in all we do that ultimately gives our owners a better ROI and NOI. We always think of their money like it’s our money. I also think sustainability and innovation with respect to the same is top of mind for most travelers. People want to protect Mother Earth and our value on projects and ownership that share these values.”

“Renovations have touched every corner of the property, with new villas designed to weave together the textures, colours and materials of the Texas landscape. Design elements inspired by indigenous Texas flora and fauna include cool, crisp blues that reflect the opulence of Texas Topaz and the bountiful surrounding lakes, and porcelain tile that nods to the earthy tones of sage and cactus. Touches of leather in warm brown and amber tones evoke the nostalgia of the property’s past as a ranch, with stitching details reminiscent of saddle craftsmanship.”

The third-generation chairman of LEO A DALY honored for significant contributions to the architectural profession, the University, and the broader community

Leo A. Daly III, FAIA, RIBA, FRAIA, is the recipient of the 2018 Joseph Miller Award. Bestowed by the School of Architecture and Planning at The Catholic University of America, the award is given to leaders who have made significant contributions to the architectural profession, the University, and the broader community.
Mr. Daly received the award March 14, at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, D.C. – a building designed by LEO A DALY.
The award is named for Joseph Miller, a legendary alumnus, respected architect and professor at Catholic University. As a teenager, Joseph Miller was recognized as a young person with promising design talent. Being from a Jewish family of modest means, he had limited options for higher education, but was embraced by the University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Architecture in 1938.
“Joseph Miller instructed me when I attended Catholic University’s School of Architecture and Planning in the mid-sixties,” said Leo A. Daly III. “He was also a friend and classmate of my father, architect Leo A. Daly, Jr. This personal connection, and my long association with the University, makes this award especially significant to me. I am also proud to receive it at the Saint John Paul II Shrine, an important building designed by my firm in 2004.”
Leo A. Daly III is Chairman and CEO of LEO A DALY, an international architecture, planning, engineering and interiors firm founded in 1915 by his grandfather. Mr. Daly opened the firm’s Washington, D.C. office, in 1964, while a student at Catholic University. He is currently leading its transition into a new 21st century studio that will support cutting-edge design technology and client collaboration. The new Washington, D.C. office will open in May 2018.
Mr. Daly, a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, is licensed in 48 states, the District of Columbia, Australia, and the United Kingdom. His roster of honors includes: The Order of Independence, Knight/Commander from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordon, and the Silver Bauhinia Star from the Government of Hong Kong, SAR. A former board member of Catholic University, he currently serves on The Trustees’ Council of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
