About Us
Workshop is the exchange of ideas between the office, team, clients - a constant realm of communication contributing to one another's knowledge as architecture as a subject and profession is ever changing and expanding at an increasingly rapid rate. The Workshop ideology serves as the nucleus centering the emphasis on the creation process of architecture. The creation process of architecture inevitably involve today's complex network of trades and construction systems. Of the many dialogues in the process of architecture, the initial between the client and architect is the acknowledged catalyst of the project. Client needs are used as the identifiers for the project and are held as a top priority. Clients are integral in process of a successful architectural design. We specialize in the ability to manage a project that involves the different layers of information, consultants, and construction team holding its top priority in project quality and delivery. The typical complication of project coordination process is streamlined in the company's approach through objectifying the aesthetics and subjective aspects of architectural design - unifying visions into built reality through proper care and channeling.
Ta Building Workshop specializes from a range of residential renovation, additions to complete custom residential spaces. Ta Building Workshop also specializes in the commercial sector of small commercial boutique build outs, commercial retail and office centers.
Ta Building Workshop's main focus is its special interests in the process of identifying client needs and amplifying these unique qualities and sewing these seeds into the design process fostering ingenuity and problem solving. Clients are strongly encouraged to be an integral process in the creation of their design regardless of the size, and budget of the project. The number one objective is to achieve meaningful architecture through creating and delivering a product satisfying the necessities communicated from the client.
