About Us - Then Design Architecture

What Drives Us

The most important part of the architectural design process is the people involved. Whether it is the students or staff who use the buildings every day, the clients in the design process, or the creative professionals bringing it to life, people come first.

Problem Solvers at Heart

For over 70 years, we have served as an award-winning architectural design firm for educational, athletic, and civic clients. With a staff of 50+ professionals, we embrace a culture that prioritizes collaboration, curiosity, and service to deliver custom environments that address each client’s unique needs.

We Value Leadership, Collaboration & Creativity

Our work requires continuous commitment and effort from each team member. Every interaction, decision, and initiative is based on leadership, collaboration, and creativity. We ensure that TDA remains a place where talent is nurtured, ideas flourish, and success is a collective achievement.

Not only that, but we are also a “teaching and learning firm.” We support the growth of high school students, emerging professionals, and early, mid, and late career professionals. Each of us has our own set of diverse skills that improve all facets of our projects.

Welcome
to the Team

We believe that every client is part of our team. Success in public design is collaborative, and no matter your position, your voice is important to the process. Great design is driven by diverse thinking from talented people. This demands a broad understanding. Our environment of inclusion fosters self-expression and promotes growth and opportunity.

Your architectural project will be as unique as your community. We look forward to navigating this process with you and making a permanent impact on your community.

"The firm’s growth has never been driven by profit or projects. Our firm’s growth has always been the result of people and purpose."

"Selfless design is deeply woven into our firm’s culture. Our commitment to community-based architecture serves as an integral thread of who we are and what we do."

“As architects, we are tasked with producing a unified vision. So we must listen carefully to suggestions and follow up with questions that reveal their intent. Recognizing underlying themes among a community’s responses is crucial for developing a design that both aligns with the district’s education goals and fits with the community in which it lives.”

“Just because the architect notes a goal doesn’t mean it’s a goal that all of us share. The design process is about delineating which goals are significant to the project. Ultimately, it's our clients who drive the solution and the final design."
