We're a small design firm in Amherst, MA with a focus on sustainability, ecology and social responsibility. Working to foster affordable and quality generic design may be the most creative thing we can do. TIA Architects provides architectural services for projects of all sizes: renovations and additions, new homes, commercial buildings, and sustainable communities.
We also provide generic designs as prototypes. These designs can be customized for individuals according to site conditions, owner needs and budget. In addition to the projects that have been realized, we have developed a variety of noteworthy project proposals. Our firm also works in conjunction with our non-profit, Nacul Center for Ecological Architecture, Inc., to provide architectural services for other non-profits committed to socially and environmentally responsible work.
Architectural interns under staff supervision work on the projects on a volunteer basis. In these cases, TIA receives reduced compensation for completion of construction drawings.

Services
In recent years there has been a growing environmental consciousness involving most professions - especially architecture.
Architects and builders agree that buildings must be an asset to the environment rather than a liability.
This is our manifesto.
All buildings, both private and public, must be responsive to environmental conditions and be designed according to principles of ecological architecture; that is, they must be sustainable.
Therefore, it has become vitally important that proposed projects be carefully evaluated with regard to the state-of-the-art materials and methods of green design.

Founded in 1972, the Nacul Center for Ecological Architecture was given this name to emphasize the Center's dedication to the art and science of building and living in harmony with nature.
The term nacul had been coined only several years earlier by architect Tullio Inglese to reflect the merging of nature and culture.
Nacul Center for Ecological Architecture, Inc. is a 501-c3 non-profit organization.
The mission of Nacul Center is to establish, teach and promote a unified theory of ecological architecture.
