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!

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.

North Union

Summer is a time for leisurely strolls and enjoying Western New York’s ideal weather. What better way to enjoy the outdoors than on streets designed to create a safe and sustainable environment for pedestrians?

Waterways

Our great waterways create a sense of place and connect us to the industrial heritage of our region. We have teamed with community stakeholders to build inviting civic spaces and bolster community engagement within these important spaces.

World Mental Health Day

We’re taking a moment to recognize a very significant health awareness observance on October 10: World Mental Health Day.

Adaptive Reuse

In architectural theory and design practice, buildings are treated as static objects. A design may propose spaces, finishes, and adjacencies that respond to one potential path for a building’s use.

Universal Design for Public Comfort Stations

We strive to design for all at every level of the built environment. We are looking beyond Gender Neutral design to Universally designed bathrooms, or comfort stations – conceived to be accessible to all people, regardless of gender expression, age, ability, belief, and social structure.
