Who we are
David Pollard Architect is a boutique residential architecture studio based in Cary, North Carolina. We specialize in helping homeowners transform the way they live—through thoughtful design, personalized attention, and deep expertise in remodeling, additions, and custom home design.
Led by David P. Pollard, AIA, our studio brings decades of experience in residential architecture, including leadership at a nationally recognized design-build firm in Chicago. David’s approach is grounded in both creativity and practicality—balancing aesthetic vision with technical precision to design homes that feel intuitive, cohesive, and timeless.
We believe the best architecture starts with understanding: how your home works, how it could work better, and what really matters to you. Whether you're dreaming of more space, planning a full renovation, or designing your forever home from the ground up, we offer clear guidance and honest collaboration every step of the way.
