Architect, Residential

At NORR, our residential portfolio spans decades and project types. We design multi-family buildings and spaces that help to establish smart cities and resilient neighborhoods, with a focus on walkable communities, certified healthy buildings and carbon reduction strategies. Optimizing square footage and managing space standards is at the core of our designs. Our dedicated team leverages a knowledge base of program metrics that covers the spectrum of integrated developments (transit-oriented and community-focused), low-, mid- and high-rise apartments, adaptive reuse, townhomes, attainable housing and senior living.
