The firm prides itself on the ability to listen to clients' needs and aspirations, creatively blending design with appropriate and possible sustainable (green) solutions, to aid in the task of problem-solving on any architectural project.
In Residential circles, Tom has a vast portfolio of both designed and built residential homes, additions, renovations, etc. Many GC-General Contractors have commented positively on TDA's knowledge of the construction process, accuracy of it's construction documents, and the principal's ability and availability to solve problems in the field, either before or during construction. TDA's start was with residential clientele, in 2004.
In the Commercial arena, Tom has recently successfully completed several design projects for Parsons Commercial Group, in Framingham, MA, for both the commercial real estate brokerage firm itself, and it's tenants, potential lease-holders, etc. Last year (2010), with the completion of a large exterior mall facelift project in Bellingham, MA, much to the pleasing of the Owner, TDA has been able to gain momentum in the commercial real estate sectors, providing architectural services, code review, client-contact and consulting, etc., leading to a growing commercial client base. What can TDA do to help your company today!?
