Tad Bradley

Tad Bradley is a project manger for Pivot North Architecture. Raised in the Adirondack Park and the Olympic village of Lake Placid, NY, Bradley has called the Rocky Mountains home for more than 28 years. After earning his Master of Architecture from Montana State University, he has pursued a life shaped by curiosity, exploring materials, craft, teaching, travel, and design with equal dedication. Bradley's architectural education continues to ground his approach to research, fabrication, presentation, and dialogue. His experience spans over a decade of university teaching, work in residential and commercial architecture, public speaking, blacksmithing apprenticeship, and a growing body of public and gallery-based sculptures and his adventures have taken him across Canada, Europe and Asia, both independently and with students. Rooted in hands-on research and material fluency, Bradley designs with a belief in the quiet power of space, light, scale, and texture to shape and awaken the human spirit. He draws inspiration from biomimicry, seeing in nature’s adaptive intelligence a model for living and designing in balance with our environment. When not in the studio or the office, he can often be found traveling with his family and three dogs, resting on mountain summits, swimming in high alpine lakes, or wandering long stretches of ocean shoreline.
