Todd Verwers – Todd Verwers Architects Inc.
Todd Verwers AIA MAA is an award-winning Danish-American architect. Educated in the United States and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, his decidedly Scandinavian approach to design is characterized by timeless simplicity, refined elegance, and careful refinement of detail.
With over 30 years of international practice, Todd has extensive international experience over a broad range of project types. His portfolio of work, much of which has been published widely in international journals and books, is often associated with the subtle aesthetic qualities of modern Japanese and Danish minimalism.
In his former capacity of adjunct professor at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco, Todd lectured widely on the work of Danish minimalist architect Arne Jacobsen, in whose successor firm he was employed for nine years. He is also inspired by the work of architects Mies van der Rohe, Tadao Ando, Luis Barragan, Richard Neutra, and John Pawson. Early commissions included various residential remodeling and addition projects for European and American clients. Subsequent projects have spanned from custom homes to a variety of office and retail commissions. In collaboration with other architects, Todd has also developed large-scale cultural, institutional, commercial, and infrastructure projects around the globe.
In direct collaboration with residential and commercial clients, Todd Verwers Architects Inc., provides full architectural services from conceptual design through permitting and construction, while adding functional, aesthetic and financial value to their clients’ projects, and exceeding client expectations.
TESTIMONIALS
“Our high expectations were all met, and in some cases even surpassed, especially with respect to the finish details and lighting. We are particularly happy with the layout of the house. The way Mr. Verwers understands and interprets the Scandinavian way of life and architecture is very impressive”.

“I am Danish and living in California. At the moment I am working with Todd Verwers for the third time on a complete remodel of my home in Palm Springs. I have only one word to say about Todd: Genius !! Oh… and one more: The nicest person you will ever want to meet. We had 12 people for a cocktail party last night. All doors open, fireplaces blazing, the house lit like a jewel box, and people moving in and out. The flow was fantastic because of Todd’s holistic, detailed approach and great aesthetic eye. I love my house!”

“It’s five years this week since I moved in, Todd, and the house is still amazing. You were right about how much better the views of the exterior and from the front would be once the wires all came down! Thanks for sharing and thank you for my wonderful house. Thank you for designing and building such a beautiful home, one that played such an important part of the happiest eight years of my life thus far.”

“Working directly with Todd Verwers as architect on two of our facilities projects in Denmark was a real pleasure. He tailored his exceptional designs to our needs and corporate workplace culture, and his professionalism and attention to detail was instrumental in the successful completion of these projects on schedule and within budget. Furthermore, his ability to converse fluently in Danish helped with some of the communication challenges we faced during the project calls and in the field.”
