WORKS of DANIEL J. PRATT
Daniel has been with the firm of Robert Carl Williams Associates since October 1980, starting as Chief of Design and was responsible for design, production and supervision of many homes and commercial projects as well as the master plan of Salt Ash Hawk Mountain Sectors 2 and 3 from 1980. In 1985 he became a registered architect in Vermont and became president of the firm in 1995. Daniel has led the firm’s expansion into major ski resort work, commercial complexes and great homes of both New England and Adirondack character.
Spending summers in a cabin built by his grandfather on Lake George NY has greatly influenced Daniel’s penchant for the Adirondack style that is represented in many of the mountain and lake homes he has penned over the years. He has also expanded his architectural talents to include the designing of affordable housing, restoration of factory buildings, Habitat for Humanity homes and starter New England home designs for families of four to nine members.
Daniel has extensive knowledge in architecture from his various work experiences that date back to 1969 where he served as a designer for the offices in the legislative building at Rockefeller Plaza in Albany, New York. He worked as a designer, project supervisor and consultant from 1970-1975 that involved public and private schools, banks, offices, multi-family homes, hospitals and major renovations. Daniel taught architectural drafting and design at the Rutland Area Vocational Technical School from 1975-1979 and co-authored the curriculum for Architectural and Engineering Drawing for use in public schools for the Vermont State Department of Education.
In January of 1979 Daniel joined Nuova Agudio of North America, a tramway manufacturer, and became a wire rope designer under the direction and training of Ugo Carlevaro the inventor of the detachable ski lift. He assisted in the manufacture and installation of the Cannon Mountain Tramway.
Design is Daniel’s passion whether it is a heated pet house with a screen porch or a multi- million dollar estate or a commercial project. Of the many commercial projects designed by Daniel, creating the unique Killington Gondola Base Station and its bridge across U.S. Route 4 and VT Route 100 in Killington, VT is among his most interesting resort renovation and upgrade.
