ABOUT TOM PRICE

A native Floridian, Tom studied architecture at the University of Florida and received his B.A. in Architecture there in 1968. After graduating from UF, he went on to do graduate study in urban design with a Fulbright Fellowship at the Technische Univ. München in Germany. He returned to Florida to begin his own architectural firm in 1971.

While working as a prominent commercial architect in Orlando, Tom began initiating historic renovation projects in downtown Orlando. He was a key player in saving many old homes from being destroyed, and in establishing historic neighborhoods in Orlando. He also helped found the historic preservation society known as OLD, Inc. His interest in period (historic) homes was the springboard for the firm's switch in 1991 to residential design, specializing in period styles. The firm's ability to design accurate and at the same time unique period homes is its specialty and trademark today.

• Judge for the 2009 and 2004 National Association of Home Builders "Best in American Living" Design awards
