TPA Studio

When we hired Tim to renovate a traditional ranch house, I simply told him, "I would like some more light." He came back with a drawing of a beautiful, modern room with clerestory windows, and thoughtful rearrangements of the floor plan. We immediately approved his design. Tim was equally helpful in our dealings with the general contractor. Indeed, throughout the entire process, Tim was available to answer any questions and provide us with sound advice. We highly recommend him.

We became familiar with TPA Architecture in the most unusual way. We were almost finished the planning stages for a fairly large home remodel, when the architect we had hired for the project was killed in a tragic car accident. We loved our architect and obviously felt devastated for so many reasons. Unbeknownst to us, TPA Architecture had been assisting (behind the scenes) on that job, so they were quite familiar with our plans and vision. In absolutely the most respectful way, TPA introduced themselves to us, and offered to help see our project through to fruition if we would feel comfortable with that. Naturally, we were a little nervous, but felt it was the option that would make the most sense for us. Throughout that "picking up the pieces" part of the job, TPA never faltered, even for one second. Always with the deepest respect for the original architect, TPA finished our job with the highest integrity, without one bit of attitude, and proceeded selflessly in homage to the architect we lost. TPA carried on her and our and its own vision with total dedication, trust and respect for ALL of our sensibilties. It was theee best collaborative experience imaginable! As a result, our home is clean, elegant and warm, and has a heart and soul, which is immediately palpable to anyone who comes inside. In addition to that rare combination, we all agree the design is timeless, and now -- years later -- there is still nothing in the design or in the finishes we'd wish to change. Sorry to go on and on, but as you can tell, my husband and I have nothing but the utmost of trust and respect for TPA. We love them as professionals and as people; in fact, we were so happy when we realized we had a need to call them to come help us figure out an issue that was NOT part of that original remodel. Years later, nothing had changed. TPA was still the most caring and honest that any home or building owner could ever hope for. If we ever build another home, we will never have to shop around for an architect. TPA will be IT!!

TPA handled my new home design from start to finish and the result was truly spectacular and on time. We were on the same "page" throughout the design process; they respected my suggestions when they made sense and politely declined when they didn't. The home is very livable and I look forward to spending time there every day. Once the contractor took over, TPA had at least one architect on site whenever needed by the builder and often many times per week. New drawings came within hours of request by the contractor. I would use TPA again on any construction I was involved in.
