Tom adams (1962-2024)

FOUNDER

Defining Home Design Group’s Founder Tom Adams, held degrees in both Architecture and Interior Architecture.  Previously of Adams Gerndt Design Group, Tom launched Defining Home to provide holistic architecture, design and retail services to the residents of Birmingham and the surrounding areas.  Well-regarded in the industry and community, Tom’s passion for design was infectious.  He built a team of like-minded designers and professionals who seek to serve clients in whatever capacity necessary. 

Tom’s projects have been featured in local and national publications including Birmingham Home and Garden, Southern Home, Decor and Garden & Gun. Specializing in ground-up construction, Tom had significant experience designing not only client’s permanent residences but also vacation homes such as lake, beach and farmhouses. One of Tom’s most unique architecture and design projects was a fully equipped duck hunting camp on a barge in Louisiana.  It is truly one of a kind. A design chameleon, Tom as well as the rest of his team sought to leave a project without injecting a “signature style” into a property.  The finished project is always a true reflection of his clients. 

Although Tom is no longer with us, his legacy of design and comradery with his clients lives on in the talented team of Defining Home.
