Taylor Design Associates (T.D.A.) HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS, and VERMONT HEALTHY HOMES LLC, has been changed to Tad Taylor's HEALTHY HOMES LLC as of December 2000. Originally founded as NONTOXIC ENVIRONMENTS as a full service healthy building and design company in 1985 in Greenwich Ct. by Pam and Tad Taylor. This experienced and mature team and their creative company knows that a commitment to quality and service with integrity is the key to successful business relationships and building projects. Designing and building is a very exciting growth oriented experience, and when a project is organized and managed properly, the job can be done well, efficiently, and with a lot of fun! The client can then remain focused on those aspects of the project which are exciting to them. This is our goal on any job.
The company was born out of the need of Tad and Pam to adjust their goals to a changing time. Tad decided to become involved in healthy building in 1985, when dealing with his own personal health problems, specifically severe chemical sensitivities. As a published designer and experienced builder at that time, the combination of skills and experiences brought a fresh light to a leading edge area in the building field. Deciding to research the area for the next 10 years, Tad began gathering all types of information from publications and private connections of clients and case histories, establishing an extensive data base and criteria for building that is unequaled today. Tad's favorite books include medical books on clinical toxicology and the toxicology of commercial products, which scientifically establish the links between human health problems and low level chemical exposures. These resources, in addition to Tad's daily experience of working in the field, and the ability [as a universal reactor] to detect sub odor level toxics, has made him a leader in the area of detection and mediation of sub odor level toxins.
Once you open the lid of the Pandoras box of healthy building for people with extreme sensitivites, there are an infinate number of overlapping concerns.With out extensive experience in each of these areas, problems will occur. Tad's experiences contribute to a thorough knowledge of each area related to these health concerns. If the related areas are not experienced fully on a personal and not theoretical level, this ability to understand all the subtilties will not exist in one or in a group of people.
This is what makes Tad's lifes experiences
and skills so unique. The standards Tad has set for his own survival and
healing, and those standards he has adopted for the basis for analysis
of all the combined concerns, now set Tad as the leader in understanding
and dealing with leading edge health issues caused by low level toxics
exposures. Without a lifetime of experiences in building and renovating,
and without the experinces of being severely chemically sensitive, it would
not be possible to link up data with first hand experience that establish
this critical consciousness and understanding.
