Under the leadership of President and CEO Sherwood Butler, TRIA is now bringing its signature innovation to the multifamily, interior design, urban design/master planning, commercial mixed-use, adaptive reuse/repositioning, workplace, retail, and hospitality sectors.

With a decade of excellence in holistic design solutions for science and technology—working with global trailblazers like Moderna Therapeutics, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and leading developers/owners/operators of life-sciences spaces—TRIA is building on its deep expertise to transform the built environment across industries. The firm has recently delivered standout projects in restaurants, workspaces, and repositioning efforts, solidifying its place as a dynamic force in architectural design.

“This is a pivotal moment in TRIA’s journey,” said Sherwood Butler, President and CEO. “Our foundation in science and tech, combined with our growing multidisciplinary experience, has naturally evolved into a bold, integrated practice model.
