Team

tf_wrks llc is a Montana and New England based design studio offering architectural and landscape design solutions to residential clients. Originated by Tom Forker, the office remains small and focused on compelling, collaborative projects of all scales.

Purpose

The work is a commitment to the strength of the idea and a passion for the tangibles of material and detail. There is an honest, straightforward approach to the work, uniquely informed by circumstance, process and ultimately the acts of building itself. The primary goal is to bring the vision of the client, the particulars of the site and the richness of craft together to create enduring livable architecture capable of inspiration and delight.

The architecture and landscape is the inevitable conclusion of a listening process - to physically manifest the emotion and lived experience of our clients’ lives. That involves a belief that aesthetic and functional beauty is born from a close relationship with nature. Our design approach has always been to create and make with heart but with minimum impact to our planet.

We’re here to make the best buildings we can, not the most.

Process

We set out to offer clients an integrated design process, foregrounding sustainability, smooth thresholds between inside and outside, a richness of natural materials, and most importantly, how people live in and experience the built spaces they inhabit.

We are focused on bringing your project from concept through finished construction and lived reality. We have built a collaborative community of allied professionals to design, permit, and build projects with the goal of bringing the highest quality finished product for the least cost and fastest timeline.

We look forward to discussing your dream, wherever you are in the world. Please get in touch below and let’s begin the journey.
