Building on Hope and Warrenstreet

Building on Hope brand Warrenstreet

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.
