Acadia Architecture

Love the experience! Great architect Davide Gianella who with his artistic, elegant and sophisticated touch will make your imagination come true. We are currently on finishing stages of our new abode, and already people stop by to admire. I was never afraid to suggest something that other architect would probably scare, but with Davide each suggestion was reviewed carefully, analyzed and either a suggestion put forth to better the idea or a little twist would make everything fall into place!
Definitely recommend and will make sure to work with Davide on any project I, my family members or my friends will need architect for!!!

Davide was our architect for the rather-​big remodelling project on the house. We never worked with architects before and I found him on Unilocal,not by personal referral so we were a little nervous at the beginning. We hired him after interviewing several architects as he sounded most knowledgable, trustworthy, artistic and honest. And he didn’t disappoint us during the actual work!
The project was longer and more complicated than initially expected and I can’t say we were the best communicating clients about the details, but he has been always patient and reasonable. Also he was persistent on the details when no one else could expect what the different outcome would be if we skip or change something on the original plan and he turned out to be right on most of things and I am glad that we listened to him! We are pleased with the final outcome of the house.
I would highly recommend him.

We strongly believe that a passionate and mistake-​free architect is an integral part of any construction project. Davide is the perfect architect for a modern home, as he will put in as much love into your project as you do.
Our project is a new construction with significant living space. I am blessed to have such a wonderful architect who puts our dreams onto paper. He is totally committed, meticulous and helps with interior design. He made our project stress-​free and took care of the whole site approval process, coordinating with other engineers during approval stage.
We can’t imagine how it would have been without him. He takes pride to his work and goes an extra mile to resolve any issues. I appreciate his dedication towards the project as I can reach out to him for any issues during construction even after his design contract is over.

We just finished a large remodel + new addition project in Palo Alto. Davide, the owner of Acadia Architecture, designed our place. We were very satisfied with his design and his exceptional commitment. After he got his money (when we got our building permit a few months ago), he did not run! Instead he came back a few times to check on the building progress, gave us suggestions when we sought his help, helped brainstorming solution when we got issues with the contractor.
Davide blended great architectural knowledge with his Italian taste and came up with practical design that met not just our requirement but our need (beyond what we asked for). Everyone who has been to our place complimented the design. Last but not least, we built a very green building with a 88 green point.
We will definitely hire him again in a heart beat!

Currently working with Acadia-​Architecture and have nothing but great things to say about the ethics and professionalism! Thank you and keep up your great work!!!

Definitely one of the most brilliant and knowledgeable Architects I have had the privilege of working with. Not only is he a ware of building codes, he brings with him a love for architecture that really shows in his design work.
He is one of the most patient architects I have ever met, and listens to your every need while working within your budget.

Davide is artistic! We are extremely fortunate to find him to design our home. It turned out to be what exactly we envisioned. He worked with us at every step, listened to us, I repeat — listened to us, to learn what we wanted and came up with a beautiful design. He was always there throughout the construction pitching in advise and help when needed. When City wanted some changes in the drawings, he neither wasted anytime nor demanded exorbitant change order fees.
Davide is a true professional and passionate about natural light and it is an integral part of his design. We have abundant light now and it feels so much better to stray indoors now. We will not hesitate a single moment to hire him again if we need.

We are so, so pleased with the job Davide did with our addition. We are having a family room built onto the back of our house, and thought we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted before we started interviewing architects. We interviewed a few, but Davide clearly stood out. We were instantly extremely comfortable with him personally, and he took our ideas about what we wanted and just improved upon all of them! He had some really wonderful ideas, and as a result the room we are getting is just perfect. My husband and I still laugh, thinking of what our family room might have looked like if we hadn’t hired Davide. He absolutely kept in mind what we wanted (it was very important to us that the addition look like it was original to our 1942 house), but made it so much more elegant than we were expecting. The result is just fabulous, and really elevates the quality of our whole home. If we ever have need of an architect again, Davide will be the only one we call!

We know Davide for nearly 3 years since our house burned in Campbell.
Davide — just outstanding Architect with knowledge, experience and most important honesty, responsibility and human touch. Davide designed our house as it still under construction in Campbell. He’s always helping us to resolve any construction issues and willing to go extra mile to solve any problems. I highly recommend Davide at Acadia_​Architecture for anyone who’s looking for any architectural projects.

Davide is the architect of our house under construction. It’s amazing to see how our dream is finally becoming a reality. Davide has a very big part in making it happen. We contacted Davide about a year and half back to help design our home project. Davide listened to our ideas and goals and quickly came up with a rough sketch of his vision. Hiring him was a no brainer and am glad we did! Since then, we have worked with Davide very closely through various phases of the home design and project implementation process; ranging from layout design, city permits, finishing details, contractor selection and now the construction follow up. Davide is very responsive, patient, calm and comes up with creative ideas to ensure that the home’s design works for us. Our house is presently under construction and Davide is making sure that the construction is going smoothly and per plans. He even responded to our queries while on vacation. Thanks Davide for the beautiful design and it’s a pleasure to work with you!

Davide is the architect for our new home. He’s worked with us the past year and a half, first to design + plan and now to help review and monitor the construction while the home is being built.
We went through many rounds of design discussions, revisions and even scope changes. Throughout the process he has been a person of exceptional integrity, character and poise. He is very prompt at getting back to us whenever we have questions or need clarifications. He has a great design vision but has kept the design true to the style and details we wanted to have in our home.
He has been a pleasure to work with and we feel lucky to have him as our architect. We will be glad to act as a reference, so please feel free to ask Davide for our contact information.

Working with Davide has been a great pleasure. He listened to my needs & ideas and turned around and designed a beautiful home. He is very professional, has quick response time and very talented and creative Architect. I look forward to working with Davide in future projects.

Davide is not only very talented, but very patient. He takes the time to listen to his client and bring the words into reality. He is also extremely professional in all facets and a joy to work with.

Davide has architected an amazing home for my property in Boulder Creek. I had previously worked with 4 other designers who could not come up with a suitable house plan for the challenging site — ½ an acre with a very steep slope and little useable land. He practically read my mind and came up with a home that is exactly what I wanted. Everyone who has seen the plans has commented on how beautiful and unique the home is. He has also been very patient working with the county planners to address their comments and meet the code requirements. I highly recommend Davide — he is fantastic!
AND now I have approved plans to build my dream home, thanks to Davide.

Davide, is a talented Architect from Italy. I hired Acadia-​Architecture for numerous projects and they have great ideas, listen to your own ideas, and work with your budget and time schedule. I highly recommend their services.

Working with Davide from Acadia was my first experience with and architect, and it was a fantastic one. He produced the concepts, floor plans, and detailed drawing set for a major remodel that demolished everything but parts of the old foundation. He proposed several very unique design ideas for the house that will make it look very unique and take maximum advantage of the space we had available. My house is going to be very modern and has already generated lots of praise from passing neighbors. I would highly recommend Davide if you want a very meticulous architect for your new house or remodel.
