Join Studio AR&D Architects for an exploration of their innovative approach to modern desert architecture, where the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living are intentionally blurred. This presentation will explore the studio's design process, from site visits and client collaboration to selecting materials that unify interior and exterior spaces. Discover how AR&D integrates natural elements into their projects, creating seamless transitions that allow residents to fully embrace the desert environment without sacrificing comfort or privacy.

Led by Sean Lockyer, founder and principal architect of Studio AR&D, this presentation will showcase several key projects, highlighting how thoughtful design can enhance the connection between architecture and landscape. With a focus on balancing transparency and privacy, AR&D's work creates open and integrated spaces while still providing private sanctuaries.

Sean Lockyer brings over two decades of architectural expertise, with a portfolio that includes award-winning residential and commercial projects across the Coachella Valley and beyond. The studios’ designs emphasize thoughtful integration of indoor and outdoor elements, particularly in the desert’s unique climate.
