TCA’s design journal (base) celebrates our commitment to consistent, high-quality design throughout our
studios. Projects exhibited provide a snapshot into how TCA’s design process has guided their efforts
to successful outcomes. The journal also acts as a reminder that good design when managed
well benefits everyone involved.
We believe in forward-thinking design that challenges the status quo. It begins with an ear to the ground, listening to what’s happening locally and creating living experiences based on community needs. We start with the bigger picture and give careful attention to the smallest details that deliver on unrealized client and consumer desires.
