KR Architecture & Interiors

Architecture and interiors under one roof. When the people designing your walls also think about your light, finishes, and flow, the whole home just works. Happy Friday from all of us at KR.

Thinking about a renovation? Think about the next 20 years, too. Aging-in-place design keeps families together and lets people stay in the homes they love. A first-floor suite, wider doorways, and a curbless shower are easier to plan now than to add later. Questions about what makes sense for your home? Send us a message.

Proud to call Abington home. From cozy capes to full commercial build-outs, we love designing for the people and places of the South Shore. Thank you to every neighbor who's trusted us with their project.

Before she was designing homes across the South Shore, Krista was designing them out of autumn leaves on her front lawn. Some callings start early. What did you love doing as a kid that still shows up in your life today?

Accessibility doesn't take a day off for Halloween.

This year, October 31 falls on a Saturday. That means bigger crowds, longer hours, and more families on the move. For children with mobility challenges, sensory sensitivities, or food allergies, a typical trick-or-treat route is full of barriers: steep steps, cluttered walkways, flashing lights, and candy-only bowls.

As an architect and Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, I see most of these as design problems, and design problems have solutions. Many of the most effective ones cost nothing:

• Move the treat station to a level, well-lit spot
• Keep paths at least 36" wide and free of decorations
• Create a calm approach, and save the jump scares for the side yard
• Offer non-food treats and join FARE's Teal Pumpkin Project
• For businesses and events, share accessibility details in advance and brief your volunteers

The same principle applies to the spaces we design all year: they work best when they're designed for everyone who will use them.

I've updated my guide to inclusive trick-or-treat design for 2026. You can read the full article at https://www.krarch.com/news/designing-inclusive-trick-or-treat-experiences-how-architecture-can-accommodate-all-children-on-halloween

Every great home starts as a long road: design, permits, construction, and a few surprises along the way. Our job is to keep you steady from first sketch to move-in day, every step of the way.

Great design isn’t only about what you see. It’s about how a space feels, and how it sounds.

We were honored to help bring acoustic sound panels into the First Baptist Church of Abington. Sanctuaries are built for gathering, but hard surfaces and high ceilings can make it difficult for every word, hymn, and prayer to carry clearly. These panels soften echo and improve clarity so the congregation can hear and connect more fully, whether they’re in the front pew or the back row.

A very special thank you to Felt Right for generously donating the panels. Your support made this project possible, and it’s a meaningful gift to a community space that serves so many people.

Projects like this are a reminder of why we do what we do: thoughtful design makes the places that matter most work better for the people who use them.
