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!
