Daniel Lee
Daniel Lee is a practicing Christian architect. His early exposure to both classical and modern architecture and art in Paris, where his parents were missionaries, along with extensive travel throughout Europe in his formative years, propelled him into the battlefield of ideas that operate in the world of architecture today.

He earned a Bachelor of Architecture from the Mississippi School of Architecture in 1981, followed by studies with Francis Schaeffer at L’Abri. He has trained under some of the West’s leading classical architectural and urban design theorists.

Mr. Lee is founder of a private professional architecture practice in Northern Virginia. His projects are deliberately rooted in historic Judeo-Christian aesthetics and classical precedent, while incorporating new technologies where appropriate. He is married with four children, all of whom have been homeschooled at various times. His primary inspiration is God’s mysterious glory, revealed in the Scriptures and every part of the created order, as it holds the cosmos together. His artistic focus is on the creation of new built forms that manifest this beauty in their composition and details.
