2021: Our virtual reality

It’s 2021! We’ve made it!

We’ve spent nearly a year working remotely, at full steam, supporting our clients with design solutions that are more critical than ever to navigate their workspace, shape the healthcare environment and reinvent (again) what the classroom can and should provide.

Every day, our team discovers fresh ways to communicate and predict how design decisions will affect the people who inhabit the places we design. Each floor plan and configuration has implications on what circulation, collaboration (and especially celebration!) can safely look like in this new future.
We have a long history of harnessing emerging technologies to communicate design concepts—from simply stated diagrammatic sketches to fly over animations and fully clash coordinated BIM models. We look forward to sharing some of these concepts with you here.

Here’s to a year of new beginnings!

Design Thinking

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

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.

Flex Classrooms

We know that a learning experience has as much to do with our environment as it does the teachers and students that create those experiences. After the past year, we have all gained a profound appreciation of how important these are to foster development and ignite a love for learning.
