In 2010, Rochlin revisited the porch with The New American Porch, a pop-up exhibit at the LA Archive Gallery.

Also in 2010, Rochlin was featured at the American Institute of Architects LA 2010 Design Awards Exhibition at the Architecture + Design Museum in Los Angeles, California.

Rochlin also curated an exhibition of her father's watercolors. Fred Rochlin Watercolors showed at the Art + Architecture Pop-Up Gallery in Los Angeles, California in 2009.

Rochlin founded her architecture firm in 1986, which worked out of the modernist commercial building, The Barry Building, in Los Angeles, California for thirty years. After a developer bought the landmark building, DRAIA relocated to an office in Santa Monica, California.

Much of the research Rochlin conducted during her thesis and tenure in Atlanta culminated in The Front Porch exhibition at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles, California. This exhibit was part of a city wide series of fifteen exhibitions shown at twelve different museums and galleries around Los Angeles. The series, Home Sweet Home, was organized by designer Gere Kavanaugh and architect Charles Moore through the Craft and Folk Art Museum, beginning in 1979. The focus of the series was domestic and vernacular architecture. An essay by each curator involved is highlighted in the exhibit catalog Home Sweet Home: American Domestic Vernacular Architecture (ISBN 9780847805204) edited by Charles W. Moore, Kathryn Smith, and Peter Becker. The exhibits were on view across Los Angeles from October 1983 through January 1984.

Rochlin followed in her parents' footsteps by attending University of California, Berkeley, where she earned both a Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Architecture in 1973 and 1976 respectively. It was there that she began her research on the American porch, completing a thesis on the topic under the mentorship of American architect Joseph Esherick. This research marked Rochlin early on in her career as an authority on American domestic vernacular architecture, particularly regarding the porch as both social custom and passive design.

Davida Rochlin (born October 1951) is an American architect, active primarily in Los Angeles and Southern California. Her work includes residential and commercial buildings and is notable for its emphasis on green and passive design concepts. She is known for her research on the American porch, which begun with her Masters in Architecture thesis at the University of California, Berkeley College of Environmental Design and continued throughout her career. Rochlin is LEED Homes and Living Future Accredited.

Davida Rochlin was born in October 1951 in Los Angeles to Fred and Harriet Rochlin. Fred was born in Nogales, Arizona, and made his way to California as an architecture student at UC Berkeley. He went on to have a successful career as a Los Angeles based architect for decades. Not long after retiring, Fred discovered a second career as a performer in the late nineties when he began performing monologues of war stories from his time in World War II. This experience eventually led to the publication of his book Old Man in a Baseball Cap: A Memoir of World War II (ISBN 9780060932275). Harriet was born in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles and also attended UC Berkeley, which is where she met Fred. Harriet was a writer, historian, and lecturer who was regarded as an authority on Jewish heritage in the Western United States. Her research in this area was largely inspired by her experience growing up in Boyle Heights, then a diverse community made up of people of Jewish, Mexican, African, and Asian descent. Boyle Heights was once home to the largest West Coast Jewish community, a fact that Harriet's work, including her book Pioneer Jews: A New Life in the Far West (ISBN 9780618001965), co-written with Fred, focused on. The two were married in July 1947. Together they have four children Davida, Margy, Judy, and Michael.
