Steve Daly

Steve is a lifelong building enthusiast, hailing from generations of craftspeople. Curiosity and understanding have always underlaid his desire for craft and thoughtful design, and at an early age a spark had formed. This spirit was further developed at Wentworth Institute of Technology where he received his bachelor’s degree in architecture discovering design and its impact on people. His professional career very quickly evolved to focus on design-build as a way to explore design and craft to deliver engaging projects. Having worked primarily in residential design over the last 25 years, he has contributed as a designer and craftsperson on everything from small home renovations and additions to multi-unit Passive House development in Boston.

As the Design Director at NEDC he aims to maintain this passion for quality across design and construction. When not keeping up with the latest building science and practices, you will find Steve getting lost in the woods on his mountain bike or in a crate of records at the local store. Now a proud father and husband, exploration, discovery, and the impact of design have taken on a new meaning as he guides this new generation through life.
