Hello, and welcome to the YRa+d Blog! We are really excited to finally launch this project. We look forward to sharing some new and interesting stuff with you as we embark on this adventure together.

Our goal with this blog is to give you a better sense of what we’re passionate, what inspires us, the kinds of projects we like, and what our design sensibilities are.

Below are some of the topics we hope to share in future posts. We hope you enjoy what’s to come, and as always, we welcome your ideas and feedback.

Design Inspiration:  Architecture that inspires and excites us

We are passionate about providing modern architecture that is both affordable and responsive. Throughout this blog, we hope to showcase projects and designs that share many of the same qualities we strive for in our practice; whether it’s a project that responds to the constraints of the site or one that incorporates a cost-effective material in an innovative way.  We hope to showcase projects that not only inspire us to do our best work but also ones that we think you will also connect with.

Design for Social Impact: Stories with a powerful social agenda

A big component of our mission is to broaden the influence of good design. We believe good architecture and design should be accessible to all, and we love discovering people and projects that have a similar social agenda. Stay tuned as we share some of these inspiring humanitarian, pro-bono, and community outreach projects with you. We hope you find just as much delight in them as we do.
