Our Sketchbook

TS-Adams-Studio-Architects-Atlanta-Leadership-Team

We specialize in creating stunning homes that harmonize with their surroundings.

We believe architecture is an art form—each decision a brushstroke refined until the design is fully realized. Our process is centered on our clients’ visions, finding creative solutions to bring them to life.

Rooted in the traditions of classical architecture, we embrace modern influences and evolving lifestyles. Each home is seamlessly integrated into its environment, reflecting regional character while balancing beauty, function, and innovation.

Based in Atlanta, we are proud to craft homes across the country, from coastal retreats to mountain estates. Our work spans many of the nation’s most distinguished communities, often for repeat clients and generations of their families—a lasting testament to the trust and relationships we’ve built over time.

Where Individual Talents Create with Collective Purpose

In a spirit of respect and curiosity, we nurture individual gifts, grow together through craft, and create homes that echo the legacy of shared vision.

There is ALWAYS a solution.
We just have to find it.

Timothy S. Adams

Founding Partner, AIA

Growing up on a farm in Asheville, North Carolina, Tim was inspired by his father’s love of building and his mother’s artistic eye. A childhood fascination with drawing and architecture, sparked by visits to Biltmore Estates, led him to pursue a career in design.

After earning both his Bachelor and Master of Architecture from Georgia Tech, Tim worked in the industry for over a decade before founding T.S. Adams Studio Architects in 2001. His designs draw on a deep understanding of historic precedents—from Colonial Revivals and Shingle-style homes to Gilded Age mansions—creating timeless, thoughtfully detailed residences.

Tim values close client relationships, listening and collaborating to bring creative solutions to life. Outside the studio, he enjoys the quiet of his farm, painting, gardening, and outdoor adventures.

Kelli Adams

Founding Partner

Transitioning from teaching fourth graders to managing her husband’s studio demonstrates Kelli’s innate knack for ‘figuring things out.’ She loves being part of the process, and her detail-oriented nature makes her the glue that binds the business, clients, and team. While managing both a home and business can be challenging, she’s a firm believer in taking things one day at a time. She’s been with the team since the very beginning and is involved in everything from management to accounting and human resources. She values the experience of contributing to something greater and building a family business. Kelli’s favorite escape is the family farm – a place to unplug with the kids, play games, and connect with nature.

Noah C. Speights

Partner

Originally from Mississippi, Noah’s journey to Vice President at TS Adams Studio started very early; he remembers visiting construction sites with his grandfather around the age of five. With a natural gift for geometry and an affinity for hands-on experience, his unique path has been filled with a variety of roles in design and construction.

Noah joined TS Adams Studio in 2005 with several years of residential design experience already under his belt. Having acquired the fundamentals of drawing and design through an apprentice’s approach, Noah also brings a deep passion for residential architecture to his role at TS Adams Studio. His keen attention to detail makes Noah a worthy mentor, advocate, and driven leader for the studio. Noah is involved in all major projects and is known as a great listener, intently focused on client goals and solutions and team development.

When Noah’s not drawing or daydreaming about architecture, he enjoys spending time in Historic Grant Park with his wife, Giovanna, and their two young children. You may also find him gardening in a Hawaiian shirt, a nod to his time living in Hawaii before moving to Atlanta.

Project Manager

Known for his humor and loud typing in the office, Trent is an avid Texas Longhorns fan and loves crossword puzzles and old-school action movies. Throughout middle and high school, Trent received years of hands-on experience in the field of construction and architecture while assisting a family member who was a gifted contractor. The true power of design really struck him on his first trip to Washington, D.C. - a trip that illustrated the power different architectural programs have on emotion. He experienced how museums inspire awe and wonder, how memorials evoke reverence and respect, and how monuments kindle patriotism.   Trent won the distinguished Portman Prize with his team while studying at The Georgia Institute of Technology.  He is a CAD expert and takes pride in improving the studio’s workflows. Trent is endlessly inspired by the true craftsmanship that can be brought to life through bespoke residential design. His favorite part of construction is the framing; seeing a house materialize from stacks of lumber.
