A|r Herman Miller and Millington Lockwood’s Annual Gingerbread Competition

This holiday season, A|r accepted the challenge to enter Herman Miller’s annual gingerbread house competition. We began with a design/build charette to brainstorm a theme for our creation, and jumped at our chance to create an exploded axonometric house with a holiday twist.

May we present Exploded Ginger Axon! This take on “Inception meets Matrix” took home the prize for favorite movie inspiration! And in this cold weather, hopefully it is a reminder of all that is cozy!

From our ginger home to yours, Happy New Year from A|r!

Historic Preservation

Our cities may have gone quiet these past months, but this time of stillness is a mere nano-second in the lifetime of our great historic places.

Design Technology

A|r was one of the first firms in the country to integrate full scale Building Information Modeling (BIM) project execution into our practice. Our team leverages BIM capabilities to create highly intelligent models, providing sophisticated visualizations which inform and optimize design, budget and schedules.

The proliferation of digital resources and scholarship has meant that access to information is everywhere and even more critical in the current circumstances.
