Our Philosophy

People come first.

We believe great Architectural design comes from a collaborative effort across multiple disciplines to create something that will marry beauty and function to meet the needs of the client and the community they serve in a sustainable and inclusive way that puts people first. We are passionate about using our skills to serve our clients and the community to build a better future.

As a full service architectural firm we offer a turnkey solution to walk with our clients from conception to project completion providing the full range of services in-between.

Our History

We have over 40 years experience working with hundreds of clients on thousands of projects all across the central coast of California and beyond. We serve our clients through the whole process from imagining the project and researching the feasibility, to design and permitting, bidding and negotiation and construction administration. We bring the same passion and excellence to a small remodel or ADU as to a large scale housing development, because we are not serving a project we are serving our clients and the community.

At David J Elliott and Associates people come first.

Testimonials

What our
clients say

David Elliott helped us navigate a tricky upgrade on an older church building we were updating for ADA access to rest rooms and a few “minor” changes that turned into complicated structural and regulatory issues. The team of professionals that Dave collaborates with made the process seamless and kept the cost within budget and on time. We could not have accomplished this without his expertise, network, and oh yeah, his long-standing relationships and favor with local building officials.
Dave Dove
Vineyard Church, Salinas
David is both a great friend and consummate professional. He has been a local architect for over 35 years with a tremendous variety of project experience and creative design at both a commercial and residential level. He is well connected to a cadre of consultants that provide necessary engineering, civil, electrical and energy details that bring together complete projects in a timely manner. His most recent work in designing ADUs and tiny homes for low income housing and restoration of unsheltered individuals and families reflects his heart for those he serves.
