Tim Brown Architecture is a full-service architecture and design firm based in Six Mile, South Carolina and active in the upstate, Western North Carolina and Chicago.

The design practice is driven first and foremost by a love of building; whether at small or very large scales, residential additions or commercial build-outs. TBA develops unique solutions to the challenges of each project whether services are comprehensive or limited in scope.

The practice is organized around three key pursuits: delivering highest quality professional services to clients, conducting hard and soft research in an effort to innovate across multiple fronts, and finally, sharing knowledge, experience, and insights with students.

Although small in size, TBA has developed a successful collaborative model which allows us to work on local, national and international projects.
