Tom Bassett-Dilley Architect, Ltd.

At TBDA, we are dedicated to creating beautiful and sustainable environments that our clients love. We connect people, buildings, and nature—establishing a sense of Place. Through our expertise in Passive House and Biophilic design, we provide the most beautiful, healthy, and energy-efficient environments possible. From hand-sketch brainstorming sessions to cutting-edge 3D construction documentation and energy modeling, we thoroughly engage clients in the design process.

Our mission is to affect positive change through our architecture, and that means creating beautiful, ultra-efficient, and healthy environments that matter—to our clients, to the environment, to the future. We strive for the highest in design, which to us means integration of performance and esthetics–such as is found in Nature.  We are leaders in the field of Passive House design and building science, and bring our expertise to bear on a wide range of project types. Our design vocabulary spans from classic to modern; instead of a “signature style,” our dogma is authenticity and quality.

From first sketches to the finished building, we enjoy collaboration with our clients. By deeply understanding client needs and aspirations, we craft our best solutions.Nature is our inspiration for creating resourceful, integrated, and exuberant buildings. We use our expertise in Passive House design, building science, and low/no-toxicity materials to create efficient buildings for a healthy, mindful lifestyle.

 

High-performance is not limited to new buildings! Culture is embodied in our building stock, and the character and craft of historic buildings deserve preservation. By understanding older buildings, we can renovate for efficiency and contemporary use while maintaining architectural integrity.
