Since 01-01-01, TONO Group has aspired to change the way we develop, design, and build. Believing architecture is a truly singular endeavor, we make exceptional places by employing a straightforward and efficient integrated project delivery process. Today’s design and construction industries are hyper-specialized and overly-compartmentalized; they breed contention and rivalry, while stifling innovation and creativity. At TONO Group, we’ve implemented a streamlined design-build process to fix that broken system. Founded in the spirit of autonomy, TONO began as a boutique architectural practice. In 2011, we expanded into construction management and then into furniture and decor procurement in 2014. With the addition of real estate development in 2016, TONO Group has officially evolved to house a multi-disciplinary team with a focus on celebrating collaboration, perfecting the design-build process, and creating spaces that reflect distinct vision and purpose. Offices in Lancaster, PA and West Chester, PA. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - House Plans - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Kitchen Design - Sustainable Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Energy-Efficient Homes - Floor Plans - 3D Rendering - Bathroom Design - Green Building - Space Planning - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Pool House Design & Construction - Home Restoration - Drafting - Historic Building Conservation - Project Management - Barn Design & Construction - Basement Remodeling - Basement Design - Tiny House Construction - Site Preparation - Home Gym Design & Construction - Dock Design & Construction ### Areas Served - Silver Spring - West Chester - Columbia - Willow Street - Leola - Millersville - Pequea - East Petersburg - Strasburg - Conestoga - Mount Joy - Brownstown - Salunga - Mountville - Rothsville - Lancaster - Marietta - Landisville - Wrightsville - Lampeter - Penryn - Washington Boro - East Prospect - Soudersburg - Refton - Wheatland - Bird in Hand - Goodville - Ronks - Witmer - Roseville - Smoketown - Bausman - Craley - New Providence - Talmage - West Willow ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | TONO Architects, LLC | | Address | 436 West James Street, Suite 100, Lancaster, Pennsylvania 17603, United States | | Phone | (717) 735-8166 | | Website | http://www.tonogroup.com | | Followers on Houzz | 72 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/pages/TONO-Group/139754572732153 - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/tonogroup - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/tono-group?trk=company\_logo - Blog — http://www.tonogroup.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [TONO Architects, LLC](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/tono-architects-llc-pfvwus-pf~687917451) - **Website:** http://www.tonogroup.com - **Phone:** (717) 735-8166 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - LEED AP, AIA Awards: 2003 Merit Award, 2005 Merit Award; 2010 Merit Award; 2011 Merit Award; 2012 Citation Award; 2013 Citation Award; 2014 Merit Award; 2015 Merit Award; 2017 Citation Award; 2017 Merit Award & Good Design is Good Business Award; 2018 Members' Choice Award; 2019 Citation Award - **Best of Houzz:** 6 awards (2016–2025), for Design. **Affiliations** - [The American Institute of Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/the-american-institute-of-architects-pfvwus-pf~1350720471) - [NCARB](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/ncarb-pfvwus-pf~1477640315) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 1 review** ### All 1 review **★★★★★ — nelliott15, Dec. 2016** > Did master bedroom and bathroom renovation-quality was superb!!
