40 years ago today on June 4th 1984, Davy Architecture began our first commission, the Pacific Terrace Hotel in Pacific Beach. The hotel is still standing today, as is our firm. Through several booms and busts, Davy Architecture has provided exceptional design service to our clients, stakeholders, and the community. In a rapidly changing world with new challenges, we face the future with continued design excellence. #Architecture #Design #SanDiego #SDVOSB
Thank you to all our veterans for their service. Davy Architecture knows first-hand how military service instills a profound sense of responsibility and excellence. We are proud to be a service-disabled veteran-owned business.

We are excited to announce that Holly Horton was recently promoted to assistant project manager! Holly has been with our team for the past six years, and she has consistently demonstrated her skills and dedication. She is a hard worker, detail-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile. She is a valuable asset to our team, and we are confident that she will continue to be successful in her new role.
Holly got her start at Davy Architecture as an intern while attending the NewSchool of Architecture and Design. Holly was also the recipient of the 2019 ACE Mentorship Alumni scholarship. She continues to support the ACE mentorship program at her alma mater high school in Santee, CA.
Holly will be responsible for supporting the project manager in the day-to-day management of projects. She will also be responsible for coordinating with team members, tracking progress, and ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget.
We are excited to see what she accomplishes!
Early this year, Davy was approached by architect/artist/visionary George Mullen and developer Brian Caster to help envision their solution towards transitioning San Diego’s growing unhoused population into permanent jobs, homes, and communities. Sunbreak Ranch is their concept for a 5,000-bed tent facility planned for a vacant, undeveloped parcel on the eastside of Interstate 15 at MCAS Miramar. The Ranch would contain social service providers; healthcare facilities; accommodations for single women, single men, and families; mess tents for meals; an RV park; single-tent campground; and much more. They see it as a centralized hub for intervention, or “triage” as they put it to us, to get the unsheltered off the streets, provide immediate medical and mental healthcare, counsel them, and set this challenging population on a path towards self-sufficiency and success. The third member of the Sunbreak Ranch group is noted local activist and former basketball great Bill Walton. Together, they have made their case in print media and on television. Now, through our design efforts, they have an actual plan for what their vision might be. Davy is excited to serve a role in addressing the pressing need to help our homeless.
Founded in 1984 as Eric Davy, AIA & Associates, the firm initially provided services primarily to the speculative office, industrial and hospitality development communities. In 1991, We expanded into serving the public sector with projects for the U.S. Navy and Coronado Unified School District. Our diversification into school design was firmly established in 1995 when we won the Award for Outstanding Design and Planning for Mesa Ridge High School in Colorado Springs, CO. Having completed several medical office buildings, we added acute care hospital work to our portfolio beginning in 2012. Entering our second generation, we remain equally devoted to the needs of our clients and the integrity of our architecture; striving to bring value to every project.
We focus on cultivating client relationships and doing exemplary work while adhering to our core values of commitment, teamwork and environmental sustainability. We keep promises, build consensus and act in good faith on behalf of our clients. In so doing, we have earned a solid record of delivering successful projects.
