DESIGN THAT SUPPORTS HEALTH & WELLNESS


At Garcia Architects, we go far beyond aesthetics—our design philosophy is rooted in the human experience. Our work is grounded in biophilic, nature-inspired, design, biology-informed principles, neuroarchitecture, and architectural psychology, integrating natural materials, circadian lighting, non-toxic finishes, and restorative spatial flow. Every design decision is intentional—supporting your nervous system, cognitive function, and lifestyle, while reflecting your personal or business identity. From residential sanctuaries to purpose-built commercial spaces, we approach each project as an opportunity to help people thrive.


Our expertise includes:


Human-centric, wellness-supporting design


Aging-in-place and longevity-focused solutions


Circadian rhythm lighting and sensory-sensitive environments


Eco-conscious materials and VOC-free furnishings


Psychology-informed spatial layouts that reduce stress and improve focus


Our design methodology reflects years of interdisciplinary study across neuroscience, psychology, aging, fitness, and mindfulness, brought together to create environments that nurture.


EXPERIENCE THAT BENEFITS YOU


Founded by Gil Garcia in 1976 and led by Elise Garcia, Garcia Architects offers a legacy of excellence spanning nearly five decades. Elise is a licensed architect, interior designer, and construction manager with over 30 years of hands-on experience across residential, commercial, and institutional sectors. Raised in a family of builders and developers, Elise grew up immersed in the architectural process. After earning her degree in architecture, she sharpened her skills at top firms and as an in-house project manager for major property owners before launching her own practice in 2004. Her portfolio ranges from high-profile clients like Bank of America to custom homes and senior living facilities, always with a commitment to craftsmanship, functionality, and human-centered design. Working with Garcia Architects means working with a team that listens deeply, thinks holistically, and delivers spaces that perform as beautifully as they look—on time and on budget.
