Our Inspiration: In 1967, Robert E. Rose, home builder, developer & craftsman, took his family to the World's Fair, Man & His World exhibit at the US Pavilion in Montreal, Canada. There, he was inspired by R. Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome & returned to Connecticut to embark on creating homes which considered the land & its relationship to built form. In 1992, daughter Kathleen Rose combined decades of experience as a development & real estate expert to build an advisory & development firm that includes sustainability as the foundation of all the work that we do for our public, private and institutional clients.
