Roger has led many groundbreaking projects well known in the field of sustainable architecture, including Herman Miller’s “Greenhouse” Factory, the Oberlin College Environmental Studies Center, and the Ford Motor Company Rouge Truck Plant, featuring the world’s largest green roof at the time of its completion.
Recently completed buildings include multiple factories and a R&D center for Hero MotoCorp in South Asia, and the Southside Soapbox factory in Chicago for Method Home.
