We're sharing short video excerpts from our Green Home Tour of Burh Becc. A fully certified Living Building Challenge home. Designer Alex Jackson shares how a home built as nature would build it powerfully shaped his career. More coming soon. #LivingBuildingChallenge#GreenHome
Time for the answer. Our AR Enhanced Intern team member, Isabella, took the prize with this answer: “Maybe since it’s so low and possibly on a flood plain near a river the holes might be meant for water and air to pass through.” Congratulations Isabella!
Whenever our Principal, Michael Klement, heads out on a vacation he always sends back to the AR Team a little architectural quiz to test their knowledge. What are the little “windows” at the lower level on this new home construction. Anyone want to take the challenge??
Our principal Michael Klement had the recent opportunity to visit with our clients Jeff and Isabelle for their project closeout meeting. Congratulations Jeff and Isabelle and welcome to your new home- at your same address!
We thought we would share this wonderful note we received recently from our clients, Jeff and Sandy, owners of The Sanctuary at Hope Farms. What resulted was nothing short of amazing… as you can read in their own words on the 3rd Image!
We are excited to share that in conjunction with celebrating our 35-year anniversary of inspired architectural design we are featured in the current issue of The Crazy Wisdom Community Journal. Read the full article here.

Avoid building a “Brand New Obsolete” (BNO) home! At the BRAG 2026 Home Show, we warned against homes that are outdated the moment you move in. Build with AR for a high-performance, energy-efficient, and healthy Home of the Future. 🏠✨
Thank you to all of the folks who stopped by our booth at the BRAG 2026 Home Show. We had a great turn out and our colleagues Gary Kade and Alex Jackson enjoyed talking with guests about their project goals. A special thanks to Andrea Salemi for organizing and managing the event.
Project Designer Alex Jackson and Principal Michael Klement celebrate with our clients Stewart and Heather, after our successful appeal to the Bloomfield Zoning Board of Appeals. Congratulations Stew and Heather, we’re looking forward to groundbreaking for your project!

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have released the Uniform Appraisal Dataset Version 3.6. This major update requires appraisers to document specific details, enhancing transparency in a standardized way, aligning with growing market demand for sustainable homes.
We received the most beautiful, enchanting (and mysteriously anonymous) hand-crafted letter in the mail recently. It was an elegantly composed short bit of prose celebrating one of our Arts and Crafts homes. We don’t know who sent this, but we are touched, moved and inspired.
It's time for the annual BRAG Home Show. This is THE IDEAL EVENT for anyone planning a new home or remodeling project. We are giving out free tickets while they last. Pop by our office on Tuesdays or Thursdays to pick yours up! More information at https://t.co/KdQl7YqdM2
