We sweat the details.

The little stuff matters. Whether it’s making sure the cabinet pulls are easy to use for folks with arthritis, or that the kids can’t accidentally turn on the oven, we spend time with our clients considering how the details of their lives are going to be honored in their new spaces. Function and finish work go hand in hand, so that our clients are left with space that feels coherent and intentional. It also means that we have the opportunity to see projects all the way from space diagrams to edge profiles to custom furniture and upholstery.

TPD is currently hiring for a designer position here in our Birmingham office. See the link in the bio for more information.

Every project, from a kitchen addition to a full house renovation, begins with a conversation about your family and your home. What space do you have? What kinds of spaces do you like? How much do you want to invest in this project? How long do you plan on living in the home?

Before we start the design process, we ask a lot of questions, gather information and establish priorities for your project, doing so within the context of both scope and budget. During the Design Phase, your project takes shape.

Building on years of experience in residential design and construction, Taylor and her team work with you to design a home that not only solves your challenges but exceeds your expectations. Regular meetings to discuss design decisions, as well as potential cost and time implications are critical to this phase, and your involvement in the process is a key component.

Family time isn’t just for clients.

We get it. School field trips. Carpool lines. Sports practices. College visits.

We help families build homes that accommodate all of the different kinds of time they need. We can do that better when we have time for those things too. So while deadlines are real and they matter, we can choose to handle them so that we have time for the other things that matter too.

Flexibility and career growth are not mutually exclusive.

Worried that your carpool line responsibilities are getting in the way of your career advancement? Picking up kids shouldn’t mean that all you do is pick up redlines. Here at TPD, we value being a self-starter, great communication, attention to detail, and solving problems – as well as producing great design documents for our incredible clients. Whether you are doing that at 3pm or at 9am shouldn’t matter.

A big shout out to @dandelionmarketingbham for sprucing up the project portion of TPD's website! If any of you are like us, we need everything to be a little bigger to see the detail...and that's what they've done! Now we have nice, big header images for each of our projects and you can zoom in on the various project photos to get a better look to understand the scope of the project.

Alli and Kate did an amazing job designing and building the website for us a couple of years ago, and we just couldn't be happier! This update is the perfect boost. Thank you both for your creativity, expertise, and your "sticktoitiveness" to best share TPD's projects.

If you're thinking about a website re-design or starting from scratch, talk to Dandelion Marketing!

Not all design work happens at a desk.

Desks are important, and we value office time and collaboration, but we learn so much more when we work with our clients one on one. That means meeting with them in their homes, walking through their construction sites, and helping them sort through vast tile displays to select the right ones for their dream project.

If being stuck behind a computer screen isn’t your idea of a design career, we’d love to chat. See the link in the bio for more information about open positions.

HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL PROJECT TAKE FOR DESIGN?

We hate to say it depends, but it depends! For new construction or significant renovations, the design process can take a year or longer. For smaller renovation projects, the process might take much less time. Homeowners can always have an impact on a project’s timeline, and being realistic about how long you need to make critical decisions will help us determine realistic timelines for your project.

We’d love to discuss the possibilities with you!

What does career success look like to you?

Being a designer at a small firm means more chances to do more things: responsibility for design and production and working directly with clients and contractors, all while having the support and resources that come with being part of a team.

What can senior living look like? Take a peek at the Cedar Ridge Cottages at Kirkwood by the River!

These independent living cottages are a new offering at Kirkwood, and we are happy to report that Phase I is completely sold out. What makes these homes special? Features that make it easier for older adults to live in their homes, like wider doors and halls, curbless showers, and seated work areas in the kitchen – integrated seamlessly into two-bedroom homes with custom trim, finishes, fireplaces, screened porches, and hardwood floors. We are so excited to showcase these designs - we love working to create spaces that support healthy living, for everyone!
