Have local architects played a role in designs?

For our latest project in Kansas City, we are using local firm BNIM. In New Orleans, the local firms who contributed home designs include Billes, Trahan, Eskew+Dumez+Ripple and Concordia. As for these and other internationally-renowned architects, we feel like great designers help make a statement: affordable housing for families in need should be well-designed, high-quality, safe and healthy.
