Thomas Porter
Our good friend and colleague Tom Porter passed away July 10, 2018
There are architects and designers that do restaurants, but Thomas Porter was in a league of his own. Unlike others, the end product would never resemble the dining room of a Holiday Inn or corporate chain. The difference was that Tom “got it” when working with a restauranteur. I swear he was a top chef in a previous life and I was an architect. We were always on the same page on acoustics, lighting, textures, comfort, color tones, traffic flow and of course food and drink. I will forever miss talking shop over a couple of cold ones with my friend and colleague.
The family will hold a memorial service in his honor September 7th at the chapel of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church, 3180 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Ga 30305. In lieu of flowers, if inclined, please offer a donation to Peachtree Road Methodist Church.
