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!

30 Years

Here’s to 30 years of conversations in pursuit of design excellence.

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.
