Concord Studio
TBA Architects relocated the studio to Bradford Street in Concord in December of 2011. Committed to making the space our new home, TBA designed the renovation of the Bradford Mill space, including our own offices. Here, we have developed a close-knit team, each with their own unique skills, that comprise our collaborative, well-rounded studio.
Supporting the Creative Impulse Since 1986…
TBA continues to pursue the mission of public service through thoughtful and innovative design solutions started by our founders M. Russel Feldman, Bob Jefferies, Kathleen Vick, and Leo McGill.
Waltham Studio
Before moving to our office in Concord, TBA made it’s home in Waltham where Russ, Bob, Leo, and Kathleen first developed the collaborative studio environment. Coming from different companies, positions, and backgrounds, they came together to combine their individual skill sets with the common ethos of using their design expertise, not to impose their point of view, but to be of service to their clients and communities, as well as have a bit of fun along the way.

TBA Past, Present, Future…
Throughout the years, TBA has seen many transitions at the studio in clients, personnel, and principals, as well as in the world at large through shifts in economic and social climates, yet our pursuit of creative design has remained consistent. TBA has always welcomed these transitions as opportunities for company growth and development, chances to better serve the public good.
