Things, Places, Messages

Our services

We are a design agency made up of people with aligned values about quality and standards.

“Things, Places, Messages” is the subtitle of a great book by Norman Potter, ‘What Is a Designer: ThingsPlacesMessages’.

At TPM, we believe different types of design work fundamentally share similar principles.

We found that practitioners working on product design, architecture and graphics teams can gladly coexist under one roof, contributing to the same project. This is our strength. We provide guidance and expertise on all aspects of work we undertake in line with our professional capabilities.

Our work

Audio Armstrong

This shopfront needed a few changes. Now it has a new frame made of sapele (hardwood), new toughened-glass windows, two sliding windows, one for allowing customers to pick up their orders of coffee and one for extra ventilation. The walnut bar for that quick coffee, which folds up nicely beyond the shutter at night, is very handy through these pandemic days as the shop is closed for customers. We designed the shopfront together with Armstrong Audio’s owners, made it at Building Bloqs and installed it.

The magic happens where the photons meet retinas! Yes, this is the device that “lets you see in the dark”.

About us

TPM teams’ output is nuanced and original. We keep the discussion on quality and authenticity ongoing to ensure we uphold these values continually. Our goal is to provide clients with a tailored and unique design experience. TPM teams oversee every project and collaborate with each other, or, when necessary, other experts whose input is essential. We offer a comprehensive service from concept to build and support once our work is done.
