DFDG Architecture is a mid-sized architecture and planning practice based in Phoenix, Arizona, founded in 1970 by John W. Dick, AIA. The firm emphasizes designing with sensitivity to site ecology while aligning with client objectives, including budget and schedule constraints. Principal leaders are engaged directly on each project, and the team maintains ongoing collaboration with clients, builders, and owners, often partnering with other design firms to bring specialized expertise. In the higher education sector, the firm has earned recognition for its work, notably receiving the 2025 AZ RED Award in Higher Education for the Mayo Clinic Integrated Education & Research Building, a project carried out with CO Architects. This reflects the firm's positioning across architecture, interiors, and land planning for both public and private sector clients, with a client-centric, collaborative approach.
