Meet the designers
Today, I’ll begin with a post that will be a regular feature on Airoom’s blog, called “Meet the Designers” Each post will highlight one member of our family of designers, giving you a small insight into their background, specialties, and life outside of architecture and building.
Robert Heilman:
2010 marks Bob’s tenth year at Airoom. Bob holds both a Bachelors and Master of Architecture from the Univ. of Il – Champaign – Urbana and became a Licensed Architect in 1993. He is also a Certified Green Builder.
Before joining Airoom, Bob held positions in project development for companies such as White Hen Pantry, Hertz, Gateway, Hallmark, etc. leading new store and facility project creation, but residential work has always been his passion.
“I feel that over the last ten years I have excelled at understanding client’s needs/wants and translating those wishes into functionally beautiful projects! I especially like kitchen and family room design as these spaces truly are the heart of the home!”
Some projects that Bob particularly enjoyed developing are:
-
- This kildeer kitchen renovation is a source of pride for Bob
-
- Bob enjoyed designing this kitchen remodel for a Wheaton family
-
- Blending the roofline with the existing home in this Aurora addition was a challenge, but turned out beautifully.
Bob’s wife, Sheila and two daughters, Kelsey and Erin have resided in Oak Park for the last 20 years. They love the community and are now in the midst of their third home renovation project! You can say it’s a hobby that the whole family can enjoy! When time allows you can find Bob and his family in northern Wisconsin sitting on a dock watching the loons and eagles.
Inspiring Architecture: Video of an Amazing Arizona Estate
Yes, this is the kitchen of this Arizona home.
This week, instead of the typical picture gallery we normally feature, we thought we’d bring a narrated video of a breathtaking estate in Arizona. Certainly, this home probably runs into the tens of millions of dollars, but curious homeowners looking to make their home remodel or addition a bit extra special might take come away from watching this with a few ideas to discuss with their architect or home designer.
Unfortunately, we can’t embed this video into our blog, so we’re providing this link to it on YouTube. Sit back and enjoy the next six minutes of luxury and innovation.

Sustainable home designs are more common than ever. Since Earth Day is this week we decided to highlight a “Green Home.” The home we picked this week is an environmentally-friendly beach house in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. On first look it’s obvious that this is more than just a beach house. Its sustainable features make this contemporary cottage-style house all the more appealing. Located in Truro, on a plot overlooking Cape Cod Bay and Provincetown.
