Description | New Life Church’s West Little Rock campus is set on a hill, overlooking Chenal Parkway. The 40,000 square foot campus features worship space for over 400 people, a separate chapel to seat 200 people, youth fellowship areas, children’s ministries, offices, playgrounds, and a coffee service area. Special attention was given to the acoustic quality of the spaces and to minimize acoustic neighborhood disruptions through acoustic isolation methods within the construction. The foyer features a custom light installation as a modern interpretation reminiscent of stained glass windows. The custom-designed welcome desk and wood slat feature wall enfold the viewer and reinforce the warmth of the soft seating areas to encourage fellowship. The chapel was designed as a nod to a more traditional, “liturgical” aesthetic which harkens back to historic typologies. The chapel interior features a wooden paneled wall, which becomes washed by natural light as the sun highlights the natural material. The lights and high ceilings within the chapel were designed to quiet the individual and provoke a sense of reverence and reflection.

THE PHILOSOPHY
Our firm is founded on the philosophy of designing with meraki. This is a word that Greeks use to describe what happens when you leave a piece of yourself in your work. When you love doing something, anything, so much that you put something of yourself into it, it’s known as “working with meraki”. Each project becomes a part of us; and in turn, we leave a little piece of ourselves in each project.
THE FIRM
H+N is a woman-owned and operated, full service architectural firm. We have experience on projects ranging from multi-million dollar commercial buildings to residential. We do it all, because we love what we do. We enjoy working through a project and watching as it comes to fruition through the eyes of our clients. The client’s vision becomes our mission to carry out. Our purpose is to give each client (big or small) individual service and our undivided attention.
THE EFFECT
By working with meraki and meeting our clients’ needs, we hope to make a lasting impact in our local community. H+N is dedicated to giving back. We believe it is our responsibility to pour back into our community through whatever ways possible. We are working with several non-profits in our area in various ways to advance their missions. We’re not the solution, but we can be a piece of the puzzle.

Description | The Rogers Group offices were renovated to include an open-air breezeway and adjacent office. The 2,000 square foot addition includes offices terminating in a collaborative operational “war room” and adjacent break room for catering. The addition was conceived to seamlessly integrate and build upon the unique character of the existing office building downtown.

Furthermore, the exterior cladding of the new addition features the same exposed aggregate concrete panel.

Description | The H+N team, in association with WER Architects, was tasked with designing the University of Central Arkansas Greek Village Phase II. Greek Village Phase II consisted of designing four Interfraternity Council (IFC) Fraternity houses on Donaghey Avenue across from the Phase I Sorority houses.

The project also included a National Panhellenic Conference (NPHC) Fraternity chapter room building and extending to the NPHC Complex on College Avenue.
The IFC Fraternity houses are 2 story colonial style buildings with brick veneer and two story porches. Each was designed to provide a unique character to the fraternity. The houses each contain 21 beds and an open concept living, dining and kitchen area plus study rooms spread throughout.
The NPHC Fraternity house includes four Chapter Rooms organized around a central shared corridor with services. Each chapter room was designed to be unique to each fraternity. The site includes a patio for shared use by the fraternities. The design of the building is complementary to the existing NPHC Sorority Chapter Room building located at the same complex.
