De Reus Architects, the Hawaii-based architectural practice known for its work on several high-profile resorts and residences, has promoted studio director Dan Dzakowic to partner.
As partner and studio director of De Reus Architects, Dan Dzakowic will focus on business development and the imagining of new projects large and small.
Overseeing dozens of successful projects

A proven commitment to design
Over the past 16 years, Dzakowic has devoted himself to the development of housing and mixed-use developments in all settings. Described by the firm as warm and humble, and with a commitment to De Reus Architects’ guiding principles, he is recognised through this promotion as an ideal leader to help take the business forward.
