Paul Davis Architects - Los Angeles Architecture + Design Firm

We deliver high-quality, detail-conscious, distinctive spaces

PAUL DAVIS Architects is a Los Angeles-based design firm. With avid dedication to the needs of our clients and an appreciation of the responsibility inherent in any opportunity to build, we craft projects that promote life at its best. Our work does this with beauty, “fit” (a rightness in its role and place), and an economy that celebrates intelligence in choice-making. We are modernists, and believe that a contemporary stylistic vocabulary best expresses our confidence in design’s ability to advance humanity through invention, reflection, and aspiration.

We always advocate for sustainability.
