Join us for the inaugural Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN) Symposium , a day-long exploration of what it takes to build enduring excellence in custom residential architecture. Bringing together architects from across Ohio and the Midwest, this event examines the technical, creative, and professional foundations that sustain meaningful residential practice.

From thoughtful design and durable building assemblies to architect-builder collaboration, business leadership, and the craft of documentation, each session explores the systems and decisions that shape exceptional homes. Together, we'll consider how residential architects can respond to evolving client expectations, regional climates, and the unique opportunities of practice in the Midwest.

Beyond the presentations, the symposium creates a rare opportunity for residential architects, designers, and construction partners to connect, exchange ideas, compare approaches, and strengthen the professional community dedicated to custom residential design.

Whether you are an emerging professional, a solo practitioner, or a leader of an established firm, this symposium offers practical insight, meaningful dialogue, and renewed perspective on building homes, practices, and careers that endure.

Register today and help strengthen the foundations of excellence in residential architecture across Ohio.
