Daniel Baumann is a Principal and Design Director at Henning Larsen, where he co-leads the firm’s New York studio. Daniel joined Henning Larsen’s Copenhagen office during a period of rapid international growth, and has worked across Henning Larsen’s studios in Europe, the Middle East, and North America. These experiences inform his approach to architecture as a meeting point between cultures, climates, and social conditions. 
 
Henning Larsen’s work builds on a legacy of working with light, context, and landscape, extending Scandinavian design traditions through an urban and environmental lens to address contemporary challenges of livability and sustainability. Across scales, the practice seeks to create architecture and urban environments where beauty emerges through performance, social value, and environmental responsibility. In his role, Daniel leads multidisciplinary teams to translate these principles into projects that shape meaningful everyday experiences. 
 
Daniel’s project experience spans mixed-use districts, civic buildings, and campus developments across North America and Europe, including the Enterprise Research Campus adjacent to Harvard Business School, Raleigh City Hall, Visa Global Headquarters at Mission Rock in San Francisco, UCSD’s Pepper Canyon East District in La Jolla, and Toronto’s Downsview Framework, covering a 520-acre development. 
 
He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and a Master of Architecture from the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London.
