OUR TEAM

PAUL ANDERSON, AIA

Principal, Studio Director

Paul joined TCA Architects as a Senior Designer and Associate Principal in 2012. He now operates as a Studio Director managing a wide range of projects. His more than 27 years of experience encompasses projects from lower density residential townhomes and apartments, to higher density mixed-use design with residential, retail and office uses. Paul also has extensive experience with large residential land planning projects and master plans. Prior to TCA he held titles of Senior Designer at Bassenian Lagoni Architects and Associate Partner at McLarand Vasquez & Emsiek Partners (MVE).

As a Studio Director, Paul provides solutions for complex design problems, including code related issues and diplomatic interaction and negotiation with public agencies. He is responsible for the management of simultaneous projects while collaborating with clients, consultants and the architectural team. He establishes productive working relationships and deals effectively and cooperatively with team members while making independent judgments and decisions. Paul supervises and leads team members, setting goals and prioritizing activities for self-management and efficient use of time. He clearly and effectively communicates with clients, city and governmental agencies, through written project narratives and verbal presentations. He is ultimately responsible for the financial health and stability of the project within TCA. Because of that, Mr. Anderson remains consistently on the project throughout its life, beginning with concept design and ending at project occupancy.
