Holiday celebrations are in full swing! We’re grateful for all of our clients and partners. As part of Teknion’s and Office Interiors & Design’s appreciation event, TACK got to design a classic literature themed tree. Our group went all-in with the book Goodnight Moon and enjoyed diversifying design concepts from architecture to tree design. Kids loved interacting with all the playful storybook details.

Eight teams participated, with all trees donated to Heartland Family Service’s residences, plus new books were collected for Project Harmony. A joyful event for a great cause! AND it's always nice when your submission comes in first place 🥰🎉🎈🌕🎄

Our team had a great time at the 2025 AIA Nebraska Awards Celebration Tuesday evening. There were many talented firms and individuals recognized. TACK was one of the lucky ones, as we were given a Design Honor Award for Architectural Detail for our work on the Dvorak Law Stair. It takes a team effort, and we’d like to thank our client’s at Dvorak Law, along with our design team of Performance Engineering, Morrissey Engineering, as well as our fantastic Contractor's SL Jensen, Workshop Unknown and Quality Custom. A huge congratulations to the rest of the firms and individuals who also won awards at the event. We are truly blessed to have some amazing design talent within our state!

We had a fantastic evening attending "Chili with W***y" at the Salvation Army North Corps — one of their first of many events to come — in their brand-new addition, proudly designed by our team. Great to see the support for making this expansion come to life and a special shoutout to longtime supporter, W***y Theisen for his continued impact, generosity, and tasty chili! Stay tuned for the completion of Phase 2!
