ondatore and Hanrahan met as students at Roger
Williams School of Architecture but went their
separate ways after school—one to Boston to
work on educational and commercial projects,
and one to Manhattan to cut his design chops on high-end
residential projects. Eventually, they found themselves at
the same company in New Jersey and decided to combine
their different backgrounds into one powerhouse of an
architecture firm.

MODE ARCHITECTS
The word "mode" is defined as a way something
is expressed, experienced, or done. It's a word
that perfectly encapsulates the work of an
architect whose goal is to create a structure
that is admired, appreciated, and fulfills the
desires of a client. This truth is partly how Daniel
Condatore, RA, and Jason Hanrahan chose the
name MODE for their architecture firm. The
name, however, has a dual meaning. It is also an
acronym for Monmouth Ocean Design Experts,
a role the two take to heart as lifelong Jersey
residents who can't get enough of the shore.
