Pico-Robertson Architect

Feld and Associates is an architecture firm based in the heart of Pico-Robertson, with our studio on West Pico Boulevard. We design ADUs, multi-family buildings, custom single-family homes, historic preservation projects, and institutional and commercial spaces across the Westside. Principal Dovid Feld lives in the neighborhood and has designed projects on these streets for years, so you get an architect who knows the lots, the setbacks, and the look and feel of the area firsthand.

Architecture Services for Pico-Robertson and Beverlywood

Whether you are adding rental income to your property, designing a forever home, or developing a multi-unit building, we handle the full process from first concept through permitting. Our work spans the range of project types common across the Westside.

ADU Design and Permitting

ADU design is a core specialty. We have completed more than 350 ADU projects, with over 1,000 units under contract, and we were the first firm to secure approved ADU plans on a single-family property in the City of Long Beach. We design garage conversions, attached additions, and new detached units that fit the lot, respect your neighbors, and move efficiently through city review.

Custom Single-Family Homes

Custom home design for Pico-Robertson, Beverlywood, and the surrounding Westside. From a ground-up build to a full remodel, we design homes around how you actually live. Dovid works in a contemporary idiom and is equally comfortable in classic and traditional styles, so the design fits both your taste and the character of your street.

Multi-Family Residential

Multi-family residential is where the firm built its reputation, with more than 500 units designed. We work with developers and investors on small-lot, apartment, and mixed-use projects, balancing buildable density, livability, and a building that contributes to the block rather than fighting it.

Historic Preservation and HPOZ Projects

Historic Preservation Overlay Zone work calls for an architect who understands the review process from the inside. Dovid serves on the Adams-Normandie HPOZ board as the board architect, which means he knows what historic preservation boards look for and how to design additions and renovations that earn approval while respecting the original architecture.

Institutional and Commercial

Institutional and commercial design for schools, synagogues, community organizations, and businesses. Dovid spent years on large healthcare and higher-education projects in corporate practice, and that coordination discipline carries into every commercial and institutional project we take on.

An Architect Who Lives and Builds in the Neighborhood

Dovid Y. Feld, AIA NCARB LEED AP BD+C, is the principal and creative force behind Feld and Associates. A California native, he fell in love with design young, completed his rabbinic ordination, then earned his Master of Architecture from SCI-Arc, the Southern California Institute of Architecture. He spent years in corporate practice on major healthcare and higher-education work, including UC San Diego’s Jacobs Medical Center, before going out on his own and building the firm into the practice it is today.

What sets Dovid apart locally is simple. He lives in Pico-Robertson, his family is part of the community, and he has designed homes and buildings throughout the neighborhood. He serves on the Adams-Normandie HPOZ board as board architect. When you sit down with him, you are talking to a neighbor who can point to projects nearby, not a firm parachuting in from across town. He is hands-on, values direct communication, and would rather show you a prototype than a sales presentation.

What Working With Us Looks Like

Good architecture should not feel like a black box. Here is the path most projects follow:

1.     Consultation. We learn your goals, your property, and your budget, and tell you honestly what is feasible.

2.     Design. We develop the concept into drawings and refine it with you until it is right.

3.     Documentation. We prepare the construction documents and the materials the city needs for permitting.

4.     Permitting and approvals. We submit to the city, coordinate with plan check and inspectors, and shepherd the project through approval. For qualifying projects, the firm participates in the City of Los Angeles self-certification pilot program for licensed professionals, which can streamline review. We will let you know during your consultation whether your project qualifies.
