Holly Horton Promoted to Assistant Project Manager

We are excited to announce that Holly Horton was recently promoted to assistant project manager! Holly has been with our team for the past six years, and she has consistently demonstrated her skills and dedication. She is a hard worker, detail-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile. She is a valuable asset to our team, and we are confident that she will continue to be successful in her new role.

Holly got her start at Davy Architecture as an intern while attending the NewSchool of Architecture and Design. Holly was also the recipient of the 2019 ACE Mentorship Alumni scholarship. She continues to support the ACE mentorship program at her alma mater high school in Santee, CA.

Holly will be responsible for supporting the project manager in the day-to-day management of projects. She will also be responsible for coordinating with team members, tracking progress, and ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget.

We are excited to see what she accomplishes!

Sunbreak Ranch

Early this year, Davy was approached by architect/artist/visionary George Mullen and developer Brian Caster to help envision their solution towards transitioning San Diego’s growing unhoused population into permanent jobs, homes, and communities. Sunbreak Ranch is their concept for a 5,000-bed tent facility planned for a vacant, undeveloped parcel on the eastside of Interstate 15 at MCAS Miramar. The Ranch would contain social service providers; healthcare facilities; accommodations for single women, single men, and families; mess tents for meals; an RV park; single-tent campground; and much more. They see it as a centralized hub for intervention, or “triage” as they put it to us, to get the unsheltered off the streets, provide immediate medical and mental healthcare, counsel them, and set this challenging population on a path towards self-sufficiency and success. The third member of the Sunbreak Ranch group is noted local activist and former basketball great Bill Walton. Together, they have made their case in print media and on television. Now, through our design efforts, they have an actual plan for what their vision might be. Davy is excited to serve a role in addressing the pressing need to help our homeless.
