Tinker Ma, LLC

Tinker Ma is a Chattanooga-based architecture, interiors, and planning firm stewarding sustainable community enhancement through creativity, professional leadership, and technical expertise. Architecture is complex, but our process is simple: we take an idea from our client, breathe life and art into it, and then express that idea out into the world. We are passionate about bringing compelling ideas to life to invigorate communities and help them grow. Our job is to learn the fundamental “why” of every client and use the existing environment to create an open, shared, and sustainable narrative. Through revitalization, communities thrive, and legacies are built. Partners, Thomas Palmer, Craig Peavy, Jessica Stack, and Trey Wheeler lead a team of 30 staff members. Our collective portfolio encompasses a broad range of project types and users, including hospitality; urban design and placemaking; education; healthcare; multi-family housing; food and beverage; state and local government; retail and entertainment; technical and industrial; and custom, single-family residential projects.
