AI is changing the tools architects use — but not the role of the architect. In our latest blog post, David shares how TBA is embracing AI while protecting the judgment, creativity, craft, and client trust at the heart of our work.

Architecture has evolved for decades alongside technology. From computer-aided drafting to BIM, digital visualization, and virtual reality, each new tool has brought opportunities to improve our work as architects and raised questions about what would be diminished along the way.

Coastal architecture is about more than capturing a view — it’s about responding to the landscape, embracing natural forces, and creating spaces that bring beauty, comfort, and connection for generations to come. Inspired by his recent talk at the Luxury Home Design Summit, Tim shares his expertise on designing coastal homes, built to last.

Every project reminds us that good design begins with understanding a place and, more than ever, creating homes that are beautiful, resilient, and built to last.

Summer is a season for learning, and at TBA, that tradition never stops. From licensure exams and mentorship to code research, design standards, and rendering protocols, our team is committed to continuous growth and sharing knowledge with one another. We believe that ongoing learning leads to better design, stronger communities, and a more resilient future. Read more about our 2026 "Summer School" and what our team is exploring this season — including a full video of one of Tim's Classical Literature sessions with Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, So Cal Chapter.

Learning has always been part of our culture: our team is constantly exploring new ideas that make us more skilled architects and better stewards of the built environment.

Last week, Tim attended the USGBC California Green Building Conference. One of the takeaways from his time in Berkeley came from an unexpected source: a thoughtful school project on greenwashing by 15-year-old Lucy, the daughter of longtime friends. See her project in our newest blog post — a reminder that the future of sustainability is already taking shape.

We are inspired by the creativity, scholarship, clarity, and usefulness of 15-year-old Lucy's work, exploring how companies can sometimes present themselves as environmentally responsible without taking meaningful steps in practice.

We're thrilled to share a new project, on newstands in Luxe Interiors + Design today! Set across three levels and roughly 9,000 sq. ft., this residence balances tradition with open-concept family living. A classic brick facade and formal front rooms give way to more relaxed rear spaces — where stucco, porches, and balconies open to the yard, and the kitchen and family room become the heart of daily life. Classic at its core, the home infuses traditional architecture with a contemporary spirit, finely tuned to the rhythms of everyday living.

Much of our work lives beyond what’s built or publicly shared — projects paused by changing circumstances, or completed homes that remain private at the request of our homeowners. These projects are a meaningful part of our practice, developed through close collaboration and a high level of trust. In this month's blog post, we’re sharing a glimpse into that body of work: four unbuilt projects that reflect the same rigor, imagination, and technical depth as those that come to life.

A 1927 home, reimagined for modern family life — now on our website! This English Arts & Crafts Revival project balances preservation and expansion, integrating a substantial addition while maintaining the character of the original residence and its setting. New spaces open to a generous south-facing lawn, complemented by stone-paved terraces and a new pool; while carefully crafted details add moments of surprise and richness. The result is a home that feels both rooted in tradition and thoughtfully evolved for how we live today.

This 1927 residence has been reimagined through a substantial addition and careful renovation.
