In short, They took our “vision” and turned it into a reality that exceeded the vision.In 1995, Dominique established PDP as a planning and design practice focusing exclusively on offering high-quality professional services for clients with nationally significant historic sites and buildings. We could not have chosen more beneficial partner for our project. We ended up with a beautiful home that exceeded our expectations, which honestly were pretty high to begin with. TKP made what could have been a difficult and frustrating process quite easy. Changes or modifications in the design were fairly minimal because of the great ongoing communication throughout the process that was developed by TKP. We had periodic meetings both in office and on site and Paul and Karen continually came up with new ideas and suggestions that made the process so much easier for us. The entire TKP staff was tremendous and very easy to work with as we met and worked with many talented folks over the 16 month design period and the 18 month build. They helped us put a team together from builder to interior design and many of the skilled trades in between and we grew to quickly trust their recommendations and suggestions. They helped, with us having never done anything like this before, in so many areas outside of just the design and architecture. From the moment we initially met with Paul and Karen, we were impressed with not only their technical knowledge, professionalism and prior projects, but by the fact that, from the beginning, they took a very personal interest in our project. TKP was referred by a friend when we decided to build our dream home. Would we use Karen again? Absolutely! We are already planning on asking for her help with an outbuilding and possibly an in-town project! The finished design is everything we wanted, and we love entertaining family and friends there. Karen was there to support us and provide important advice during the inevitable ups and downs of a remote remodel. She also provided valuable input with the time-intensive design/color selections for the house, pulling everything together into one cohesive plan. We embarked on a lengthy remodel and were in constant touch with Karen and her team. She was excited about the potential the house held and many of the original architect’s thoughts/designs. We were pleased when we first met her and toured our “before” house. Karen’s designs stood out for their quality and fit with the high country.

We discovered her firm while researching various mountain house photographs. We had the pleasure of working with Karen Keating and TKP for an extensive remodel of our Colorado mountain house. We are extremely grateful and happy to have chosen such an A+ architectural firm. Thanks to Karen and TKP our home is truly a work of art. The entire process has been extremely smooth and well run. Not only are they incredible architects, they also referred us to our builder, interior designer and many other subs who have also been top notch. This allows the builders to perform their jobs with ease and confidence knowing exactly what was intended. When interviewing builders, everyone commented on how TKP’s drawings are always exceptional with many more details given than other firms. Karen and her staff always had informative suggestions and explanations with pros and cons so that we could make the best decisions. Karen spent time asking questions, learning and understanding not only our desires for our home but also how we live and use the spaces within it. From the first meeting with Karen, we understood clearly their process as well as our financial obligations. Karen and the entire firm are all professionals with an extreme amount of experience, excellent customer service and communication. We engaged TKP Architects and Karen Keating after interviewing several other firms to build our dream home.
