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

January is the month of resolutions, revelations, and new beginnings. This January we celebrate Design Thinking.

Here at A|r we operate as a design studio. What does this mean exactly? It means that our multidisciplinary staff comes together as a team to collaborate and develop as a unified whole.

Simplicity in design does not exclude deep thought and strategic planning – modular design is a manifestation of this idea and is a level of design thinking that can be utilized at any scale.

There is no placemaking without people. As we move together toward a post-covid era, what new factors will impact our sense of place? The tools of placemaking were important before, and now they are crucial to how we experience our environment.
