We Make Community Think-Spaces and Do-Spaces

We are a community of place-crafters working with one another, who understand that strong communities thrive when (people) have places that motivate thinking + doing (with one another).

The Tappe team combines passion, longevity, expertise, and a collaborative energy to consistently achieve excellent outcomes for our clients. Committed to client service, we aggressively manage cost, schedule, technical excellence, and provide active and thorough participation during construction for every project.

Our firm heritage is founded on the design of memorable places that foster learning. Whether a high-performing school, a compelling performance venue, a noteworthy exhibition space or an innovative library, we believe in the importance that these institutions have for communities and for society.

For four decades, we have sustained our focus on delivering elegant, appropriate and carefully detailed buildings. Our buildings embody the character and vision of the communities and institutions for which they are built. This is the central mission of our work – giving built form to our client’s aspirations.
