Frames of Reality

Join John Rowland, AIA and Sarah Broughton, FAIA at Frames of Reality; an installation curated by the creative duo Barbieri Magalini highlighting the new collection Alpine Meadow, a collaboration with NasonMoretti and R+B.

What the Hand Still Knows

Rowland+Broughton returns from Milan with a question that defined this year's Salone: what should technology do, and what should remain in the hands of the maker? The answer, as seen in the projects gathered here, is not a choice between the two — but a discipline about which leads.

In Conversation with the Garden

In Palm Springs, the question every desert house must answer is where inside ends and outside begins. Villa Verde — Sarah and John's own home, now featured in The Wall Street Journal's Luxury Homes section — offers their answer: a house that moves, accumulates meaning, and refuses to choose.

Design in Harmony

Our convergent design process is rooted in the idea that architecture, interiors, landscape, artisanship, and client vision are not one shared creative endeavor.

A Sunday Conversation, Built On Stewardship

A 1950s Pan Abode cabin in Aspen's West End. A Sunday afternoon conversation. A question about what the place could become. The answer turned out to be preservation — voluntary landmarking, careful stewardship, and two distinct family homes that feel like they have always belonged on the same in-town site.

Open Minds and Ambitious Hearts

Reimagining a familiar architectural style is a challenge, especially one rooted in collective memory. At Woodlands, we didn’t reinvent for novelty’s sake. Instead, we reinterpreted the classic lodge through the lens of modern family living and sustainable design. Nestled in a serene valley, the home responds to its lakeside setting with quiet confidence.

A Few of Our Favorite Things

We are deeply thankful for our amazing clients, collaborators, and artisans that help us create and deliver the exceptional. As we conclude 2025, we are reflecting on special moments throughout the year at R+B.

Fall Glory: Sage Hill

Sage Hill embodies our belief that meaningful, timeless design is born from the deliberate integration of architecture, interiors, landscape, and craftsmanship.
