Tymoff & Moss Architects

At Tymoff+Moss Architects, we believe that architecture has the power to elevate our lives. Founded in 1995 in the historic Freemason District of Norfolk, Virginia, our firm is dedicated to designing projects that bring value, promote liveliness, and elevate the places where we work and live.

Our Firm's History and Philosophy

Our story began with the vision of our founders, John Tymoff and Barry Moss, who shared a passion for creating spaces that inspire and engage. With an open studio concept, we foster a collaborative design effort that brings together the expertise of our talented team members. Our studio's home is a 1930s building that has seen many uses in its near-century of life, from a former Amoco service station to its current incarnation as our office space. Every detail, from the custom-made desks and tables to the exterior storefront and steel-and-maple front desk, was designed and crafted by our staff and local artisans.

Our Approach

At Tymoff+Moss Architects, we believe that every project has the potential to be great. We approach each one with enthusiasm and a love for the craft of construction. We don't just know how to design buildings and their interiors - we also know how to build them. And we love doing it. Our commitment to quality and attention to detail begins with concept sketches and continues through to the final product. We are hands-on and invested in the quality of our work, ensuring that every project exceeds our clients' expectations.
