TBU International

Established in 2002, TBU International, is a concept design driven company with a rich background in Architecture, Site Planning, & Landscape design.

For over 20 years, our founding member Norman Harris, has worked in and led many national and international design teams. Born in Tonga, he worked in construction for 10 years before getting his education at the School of Architecture at the University of Hawaii. He received their top design award and after working a few years with top architecture firms, WATG and Belt Collins, he forged his own unique path; merging his strong construction background with an uncanny aptitude of capturing uncompromising design vision.

Whether overseeing large-scale hospitality projects or intimate residential spaces, Norman Harris believes the foundational principles of design remain constant, noting that “good design is neither a product of cost nor size.” He credits this perspective to his unique background, having established a strong foundation in construction before pursuing his formal architectural education. “Because I started in construction,” he explains, “I was not constrained by how to execute a vision. Instead, I was able to focus intuitively on why the design had merit.” Ultimately, his work represents the best of both worlds: deeply pragmatic, yet highly innovative.

By far the best designer around! In both Architecture and Landscape Architectural design and processes. I myself have a degree in Landscape Architecture and have many many years experience in this field and have seen many many designs. None can compare to what Norman can produce nor match his credentials. From China to Hawaii, he's done it all. Plus he's just a great guy to work with all around.

We recently worked with Norman Harris for a landscape design for our home in Kaysville, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Norman’s professionalism and attentiveness truly stood out. He took the time to listen carefully to our vision and preferences, ensuring every detail was thoughtfully incorporated into the design. The final design drawings were stunning, perfectly capturing our desired outcomes while adding creative touches that enhanced the overall aesthetic. Norman’s ability to blend our ideas with his expertise made the process seamless and enjoyable. We highly recommend Norman Harris for anyone seeking a talented and client-focused landscape designer!

TBU, just amazing more importantly they were able to put together a design which captured what I already had as far as my own resources that were already here, norm in charge of the Design team was able to quantify everything that they did which was important to me and my family to make sure that we can keep everything with our Budget, TBU hit one out of left field on our project. I would recommend them to all my friends thank you, Norman and the Design team at TBU international.
