Here at TDS, we actively support organizations and projects working to build a better, more equitable and just world.

As we all look to the end of 2020 and prepare for what 2021 has in store, we at TDS have some news of our own to share.

When the pandemic hit, we all started comparing notes with each other about the new reality of “safer at home”, and about how we were getting through it.

When we were asked to perform some interior improvements on this single story, 1,000 square foot workingman’s bungalow in Madison’s Marquette neighborhood, what we found was a diamond in the rough.

Over the past few months, TDS has made the decision to start using the terms Primary Bedroom, Primary Bathroom, and Primary Suite to refer to the largest bedroom and bathroom in a house. We have made the decision as a company to move away from the antiquated terminology of Master Bedroom/Suite.

Since our beginnings here at TDS in 1985, our commitment to the environment has been a driving force.

Let’s face it; working from home can be tricky, even during the best of times. Partners, kids, and pets barge on screen in Zoom calls.

TDS Design Build recently received the Madison Trust for Historic Preservation’s 2020 Award for Exceptional Interior Preservation for our restoration work on the Governor’s Mansion Inn and Café.

Planning a primary bathroom remodel can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.

We recently restored a mid-century modern attached garage addition on a Madison area home.

The walls of this house are 2×8 construction with dense-pack cellulose insulation (R-27), ZIP sheathing for the air barrier and 6” Roxul insulation (R-24) for a total insulation value of R-43.

The foundation for this passive house consists of a slab-on-grade with a thickened perimeter footing that is thermally isolated from the ground by eight inches of high-density, structurally-rated EPS insulation (R-38).
