A limited number of finished and upcoming Aro residences. Most are reserved before construction completes.
Why Aro exists
Residential housing is responsible for 23% of global emissions. Most homes are no better for you, or the planet, than homes built a century ago. We started Aro to change that.
Our goal is to breathe new life into residential construction, insisting that new homes can and should be beautiful, durable, exceptionally livable, and good for the environment. At scale.

Aro home
Average annual net emissions. The Aro bar is shown at minimum visible size; actual value is -0.3 metric tons, below zero. An Aro home produces more power than it consumes.
How it's built
Before anything is built, your entire home exists in 3D: structure, wiring, plumbing, and finishes, engineered to exacting tolerances.
Your home is constructed as 10 modules in our climate-controlled facility, with 4x more precise build quality than conventional construction. This happens while your permits are processed.
Steel and wood structure, glazing, siding, and a standing seam metal roof come together as a high-performance envelope with low embodied carbon.
Modules are trucked to your lot, craned onto the foundation, and completed: landscaping, solar, and appliances included. Move-in ready.
The Aro Difference
Every Aro home is designed by Olson Kundig and precision-engineered to net-zero standards, so what you move into looks extraordinary, performs exceptionally, and is ready faster than you'd expect.
A-01
Every sightline, material, and transition is considered by Olson Kundig, one of the world's most respected architecture firms. Light-filled rooms, soaring windows, and a seamless connection to the outdoors bring architectural intentionality into everyday life.
A-02
Each home is modeled in 3D before it is built, with premium materials and exacting tolerances that go far beyond conventional homebuilding. Standing seam metal roof, aluminum windows, smart electrical systems, and high-performance HVAC, designed down to the last screw.
A-03
Live in a net-zero home that produces more energy than it consumes. Solar power, high-efficiency systems, and fresh-air ventilation work together behind the scenes in one of the most efficient and sustainable homes ever built.
Better by design
Aro homes are engineered to produce more energy than they consume, with climate-friendly construction and low embodied carbon from the factory floor to your front door.
Compared to conventional new construction. Every Aro home includes solar, smart energy technology, and high-efficiency mechanical systems as standard.
The 90-day difference
Your home is built in our climate-controlled facility while permits are processed. When approvals land, the modules arrive, and on-site construction finishes in under 90 days.

Life inside
Double-height windows pull the early light down the stairs and across oak floors before your coffee is ready.
The air is different here. An Aro home circulates 30% more fresh air than code requires. You notice it most when you stop noticing it.
The utility statement arrives. Your home produced more energy than it used. It will do it again next month.
