Thomas Dolan

Thomas Dolan Architecture (TDA) has been designing and building live/work spaces, projects and neighborhoods since the mid 1980s. Arguably America's premier design experts in the field, TDA and The Live/work Institute have taken the lead in coining (and trademarking) a common set of terms to define live/work. Tom and his company have created terms that help to define live/work, enabling professionals and the public to understand different types or zero commute housing.

Leading New Urbanists, TDA is a full service architectural firm, licensed in California. It has more experience designing and overseeing the construction of live/work projects than any other firm in the world.

Over the past 22 years, TDA has designed and built scores of live/work projects, resulting in hundreds of finished units. Some have been new construction, including the first ever built in the USA.

TDA has worked with many cities and towns to create well-coordinated live/work codes. Developers often hire TDA to perform this task for local government, which typically welcomes such a move.

Tom has worked with many developers and arts groups as their development consultant, performing detailed feasibility studies as well as architectural services. He has spoken, written and consulted throughout North America on live/work design and development, codes, the role of live/work in neighborhood revitalization, retention of artists in the face of changing neighborhood demographics, and many other issues.
