Custom Single-Family Home Architecture in Los Angeles
Designing a custom home is one of the most significant decisions you'll make. At Feld and Associates, we bring the same precision and care to single-family residential design that we've applied to hundreds of multi-family and ADU projects — with the added attention a custom home deserves.
Principal Dovid Feld AIA NCARB LEED AP BD+C trained at SCI-Arc and brings a design-forward sensibility grounded in practical experience. We understand Los Angeles neighborhoods deeply — the character of Pacific Palisades, the topography of Brentwood, the HPOZ considerations in historic West LA neighborhoods — and we design homes that belong in their surroundings while reflecting your vision.
Whether you're building on a vacant lot, replacing an existing structure, or rebuilding after the Palisades or Altadena fires, we will guide you through every step of the design and permitting process.
