Esherick Homsey Dodge and Davis (also known as EHDD Architecture) is a United States–based architecture, interiors, planning and urban design firm. EHDD is ranked among the top 20 architecture firms in the San Francisco Bay Area where it is headquartered.[1]

History

[edit]

EHDD grew out of a practice founded in 1946 by the late American architect Joseph Esherick (1914–1998). Esherick began his career designing houses for the architect Gardner Dailey and maintained an interest in private residences throughout his life.[2] He taught at the University of California, Berkeley (1952–1985), was among the faculty who supported William Wurster's founding of the College of Environmental Design in 1959, and served as the chair of the Architecture Department (1976–1982).[3][4] Esherick received the AIA Gold Medal in 1989[5] and the first AIA California Council Maybeck Award in 1992.

In 1951, George W. Homsey joined Joseph Esherick, followed by the addition of Peter Dodge in 1956, and Chuck Davis in 1962. In 1963 , the firm became Joseph Esherick and Associates reflecting their partnership. The firm's early years were primarily devoted to residential work.[2] By the mid-1960s, the firm was taking on larger and more complex projects, particularly in higher education but in other sectors as well.[6] In 1972, Joseph Esherick and Associates became Esherick Homsey Dodge and Davis.[2]

In the late 1970s, the firm was commissioned to design Monterey Bay Aquarium which opened in 1984 and won the National Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1988.[7] This proved to be a seminal project, expanding the firm's involvement in large aquarium, zoo and museum projects. Through the 1980s and continuing to the present, the firm's work has included a wide range of building types and scales in both the public and private sectors.[6] Esherick Homsey Dodge and Davis was given the AIA California Council Firm Award in 1980 and the AIA National Firm of the Year Award in 1986.[8][9] The AIA California Council awarded the Maybeck Award to Chuck Davis in 2003 and to George Homsey in 2006. Peter Dodge received the AIA Council Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Service in 2008.

With Joseph Esherick's passing in 1998, the firm initiated changes to its management structure and began implementing a succession plan. George Homsey and Peter Dodge transitioned to independent consultants in 1995. Subsequently, Duncan Ballash, Jennifer Devlin, and Marc L'Italien were appointed as principals in 2001, and Scott Shell joined as a principal in 2006. While building on the legacy of the founder and original principals, in order to better reflect the changes in leadership, the firm adopted the name EHDD architecture.[10]

Since its inception, the firm has garnered more than 200 design awards and honors. In addition to 11 LEED certified buildings, among them 5 LEED Platinum certified projects, the firm has been awarded over 30 sustainable design awards[10] including three Center for the Built Environment awards[11] and three AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) Top Ten Green Building awards.[12]
