Technical Planning Associates

TPA Design Group is a multidisciplinary firm deeply rooted in the architecture and engineering landscape of Connecticut and New England. Founded in 1945, our journey began with a commitment to empower communities to navigate the complexities of planning for the future. We've come a long way since those early days, evolving with the changing needs and aspirations of our clients. What started as a pioneering force in community planning expanded to encompass civil engineering in the 1960s, leading us to become leaders in urban renewal projects across Connecticut. Adding landscape architecture to our portfolio in the late 1970s positioned us at the forefront of environmentally sensitive design, further solidifying our reputation as a forward-thinking firm.

Today, TPA Design Group stands as a testament to the enduring value of a multidisciplinary approach. We integrate expertise in landscape architecture, civil engineering, and planning to deliver holistic solutions that address the unique needs of each project. Whether it's revitalizing urban spaces, shaping vibrant commercial developments, or creating serene residential communities, our dedicated team of professionals works collaboratively to translate visions into reality.
