The Clementine on College, formerly the old Hiway Inn Motel, is an eight-room, boutique motel experience in the heart of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and part of the larger 1140 N. College Avenue Redevelopment project by AMR Architects.

The Main Street Parklets transform underutilized parking spaces into vibrant, enduring outdoor seating areas that seamlessly integrate with the adjacent restaurants. Funded using federal transit safety grants in partnership between Rock Region Metro, the city of North Little Rock, and the Argenta Downtown Council, the design prioritizes longevity and replicability, ensuring a lasting positive impact on the urban landscape. The parklets' foundation features ipe wood tile flooring installed using a raised, leveling pedestal system, creating a seamless transition from the sidewalk to the parklet. This allows the existing curb structure and surface storm drainage to remain in place, unobstructed and functional, while providing accessibility and ease of movement for all users. Custom steel planters define the boundaries and provide a sturdy sense of enclosure while incorporating greenery and adding visual interest. The mesh metal railings strike a balance between aesthetics and practicality, allowing for an unobstructed view while providing a subtle safety barrier. The railings' robust construction ensures long-lasting functionality and visual appeal. The modular design allows for easy replication, extending the concept's impact throughout Main Street and beyond. The thoughtful composition creates a cohesive visual language adaptable to various urban environments. Simple signage and the application of powder-coated paint colors allow for neighborhood designation. The attention to detail, high-quality materials, and adaptable configuration create welcoming atmospheres that encourage social interaction, foster community bonds, and enhance urban life. The Main Street Parklets project demonstrates the transformative potential of reclaiming public space from private vehicles through enduring, people-centric design, setting a new standard for creating sustainable, long-lasting public spaces that enrich communities for generations to come.

The old High School building in Mena, Arkansas sits at the base of Rich Mountain State Park along Mena Street (Mena’s “Main Street"). Long vacant after the school programs moved to the new campus across town, a community group and private developer engaged AMR to create a vision for this building’s potential. The two-story building is planned to house an business incubator / innovation hub on the ground floor, along with community event space and a new home for the city library. A new construction open-air addition is envisioned to create a large gathering space and literal “basecamp” for tourists as well as locals, merging the energy of the businesses along Mena Street with the State Park tourism and outdoor activities. The second floor comprises 14 residential units, which will provide a modern, “urban” housing type not currently available in the area.

One block away from the Griffin Music Hall and downtown El Dorado, Arkansas, The Haywood is in the heart of the Murphy Arts District.  This ground-up, 4 story hotel was built on a surface parking lot that once housed a hotel in the early 20th century.  The Haywood helps reconnect the fabric of the downtown and will support the growth and rebirth of this Southern Arkansas city. The hotel features a relaxing front porch, bar, and den with boutique interiors along with 70 guest rooms featuring work by Arkansas artists hand selected by Shelby Cotton, a Little Rock-based designer.

Located in the heart of the Ozark Folk Center State Park in Mountain View, Arkansas these cabins are unique hexagon-shaped buildings originally built as student housing. AMR renovated the interiors of each cabin and fully furnished each unit converting some into family rooms, some into king units, and even adding a deluxe suite. This enabled the park to broaden its offerings to visitors and provide a more updated product to encourage repeat visitors to the park. Iron headboards from local company Stone County Ironworks and Arkansas-made case goods were used to complete the design.

The newly renovated cabins at Village Creek State Park in Wynne are the perfect place to stay for a getaway. Village Creek State Park encompasses nearly 7,000 acres of beautiful forested hills and clear streams to create an environment found nowhere else in Arkansas. Within this park, there are 10 rental cabins of which AMR has completely renovated and furnished the interiors. The scope included a full kitchen renovation, bathroom renovation, and replacement of all finishes and furnishings making it a freshly updated and welcoming environment for park overnight guests.

Fassler Hall is a German-inspired beer hall, built in 1947 as the Paragon Printing Building. The two-story International Style brick building, with long, repetitive structure expressed on the exterior, floor-to-ceiling glass façade, and large open interior, is listed as a contributing structure to the historic fabric of the neighborhood. This historic status required strict adherence to design guidelines and approval processes throughout the design and construction process.  The restored and renovated 7,400 square foot ground floor houses the restaurant and bar with communal seating and a continuous 70ft long bar.  Large doors and windows were incorporated into the west façade to provide a connection to the new 6,400 square foot Beer Garden patio for exterior dining and yard games.

Copper Grill is a 100-seat urban restaurant situated at the base of 300 3rd Tower in downtown Little Rock. The interiors offer a warm and casual yet sophisticated atmosphere that is ideal for business lunches, happy hour, date nights and group dining. Indoor, outdoor, bar and lounge seating are available for dining.

Dust Bowl Lanes & Lounge is an 8-lane, retro-inspired bowling alley, originally constructed in 1968 as the MM Eberts American Legion Post. Prior to the renovation, this one-story brick building was rather nondescript, and while located in the MacArthur Park Historic District, it was not a contributing structure. The 8,000 SF extensive renovation infused new excitement and life into the previously-overlooked building. New storefront glazing was added to the north façade facing Capitol Avenue, bringing natural light into the space and connecting activity from the sidewalk to inside. The existing brick was painted gray with playful orange and green accents. The existing low planter wall and entrance ramp were slightly altered to meet ADA requirements, and a new awning was added over the entrance ramp to create visual interest while adding cover and soffit lighting. A custom, 8ft diameter neon sign anchors the north east corner, grabbing the attention of passers-by with a nostalgic retro flare.​ The interior renovation opened the floor plan to include a lounge, full-service bar, arcade area, and karaoke room. The original plush bar surround from the American Legion was refurbished and reutilized as the new full-service bar.  The retro-inspired space is lined with wood paneling and bold graphics, paying tribute to the classic bowling alleys of the 1970s.  ​

Located on the ground floor of the Mann on Main building, Samantha's Tap Room & Wood Grill features a 40' long bar, a variety of seating arrangements, an upstairs private dining room with views to below, and a large patio along vibrant Main Street. Samantha's is also unique in that all its beer and wine offerings are available on tap through an extensive system from the basement. In collaboration with additional interior consultants, the overall experience is sophisticated yet warm and comfortable. The overall space is quite large, but through the arrangement of built-in seating and low partitions, the room is divided into smaller, more intimate spaces.​

Since 1949, Bruno's Little Italy has served the greater-Little Rock area with award-winning Italian cuisine. Now located on the ground floor of the Mann Lofts building, Bruno's Little Italy has become a destination along the revitalized Main Street with its cozy atmosphere and inviting front patio.
