Can We Call it Autumn?
Given that October is Fall Risk Awareness month – we thought it might be a good time to highlight some of the ways we approach fall risk in the homes we design.
A Little Recognition (And How We Got Here)
Sitting at an AIA conference breakfast in DC last week, I learned that TPD had been named to Forbes’ inaugural list of Best in State Residential Architects.

Should we broaden the definition of Senior Living?
I recently attended the Environments for Aging conference in Atlanta, which in general is a great conference and resource for the work we do here at TPD. The assembled group of architects, interior designers, builders, vendors, senior living operators, technology specialists, medical practitioners and developers is unique, I think, in that it recognizes that everyone needs to be working together to help provide great living spaces and experiences for older adults.
