Warrenstreet Architects, Inc
Building on Hope and Warrenstreet
Building on Hope began in 2008 during the recession when it was clear that non-profits were struggling to keep their doors open. The year prior the ABC hit television show Extreme Home Makeover had come to New Hampshire and Warrenstreet Architects was asked to provide pro-bono design services as part of that effort.
While the aired result debuted a positive “give back” experience made possible by celebrity talent, the real talent was in fact behind the scenes. It was the everyday good people and local businesses who came together to give selflessly and make the perceived impossible, possible. When a small group of friends with a vision of organizing their own “extreme makeover” to renovate a small residential treatment facility for boys came to surface, Warrenstreet quickly joined the worthy cause!
With the motto of “many hands make light work,” today Building on Hope has grown to include hundreds of volunteers from architects, builders, designers and trade professionals to hospitality specialists, marketers, media outlets and other individuals and businesses who donate time, expertise, materials and more, to help renovate a non-profit facility in need every two years.
As Co-Chair of Building on Hope, Warrenstreet Architects, Inc. is proud to be an integral member and lead designer of this ongoing community partnership series centered in New Hampshire which to-date has completed 4.1M in renovations for Easterseals, Girls Inc., Opportunity Networks, the Manchester Police Athletic League and the Crisis Center of Central New Hampshire.
