AyD is an architecture and design studio based in Los Angeles.  We believe architecture is a catalyst for change for individuals, communities, and the planet.  Our team of talented and award-winning designers has a wide range of design expertise – single-family homes and accessory dwelling units, multi-family and mixed-use development, temporary and supportive housing for the unhoused.  In addition to our housing portfolio, AyD pride ourselves on our work with non-profits and community organizations, as well as large-scale projects with commercial, entertainment, and institutional clients. 

Our passion is to create a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable world through innovative design focused on our clients’ and end users’ needs.  We value collaboration.  We understand that every project comes with budget and schedule constraints.  We navigate multiple stakeholders. 

Our name, which means “Architecture and Design” in Spanish, reflects our belief that diversity and inclusion are integral to innovative and responsive design solutions.  It also represents our international training and global thinking, always grounded in connection to site and community. 

We are committed to building design teams with many perspectives, teams that understand the world we live in and have a strong vision for our future.
