Residential

TBDA’s Residential work includes new homes, gut renovations/deep energy retrofits, and additions with targeted or phased decarbonization. The magic in these projects is in collaborating with you to develop a design vision that you love; the mastery is through our experience designing high-performance, healthy, energy-efficient environments for living.
