Associate Principal
Danny Polivka
PE
Danny—a fourth generation structural engineer!—has design built into his bones. Danny’s early exposure to innovative structural problem solving provided a great foundation for the collaboration to come. As a Residential Studio lead, Danny explores the boundaries between function and form—often blurring those lines with his high-end residential designs. Driven by structural possibilities, Danny finds creative framing solutions that bring an architect’s vision to life in a way that is highly constructible for the contractor.
As keen as Danny is to collaborate with clients, he is equally fulfilled by mentoring younger project team members. The intentionality Danny brings to his designs matches his approach to relationship building. Outside of the office, Danny enjoys spending time with family friends and cats, watching his favorite San Francisco Giants and Bay Area sports teams, attending concerts, and hitting the slopes and beaches of Tahoe.
