W. Robert Kreger 

 W. Robert (Bob) Kreger, A.I.A., is the driving force behind Kreger Design Build. Custom single family residences are his specialty. He wears “dos sombreros” (licensed A.I.A. architect and licensed NM general contractor) and is able to offer “one-stop shopping” at Kreger Design Build. The designing process and the building process become streamlined because Bob is able to consider aesthetics and budget and give solid advice while looking at the larger picture as well as the details. Spreadsheets are introduced at the beginning of the design phase in our custom homes and are reviewed regularly thereafter. In addition, a HERS Rater is now integrated into the design process.

Bob Kreger combines 15 years of experience as a GB-98 licensed homebuilder with 25 years innovation as a licensed A.I.A. architect. He is a master at strategizing and managing projects, having been a project manager for several major home building companies around the country. Practicing architecture in Boston during the 1980’s, some of his designs changed the look of the Boston waterfront skyline and he worked on an Arab prince’s palace details! His design build firm in Taos, NM, in the early 1990’s was responsible for commercial space, a church and single family residences.

 Giving back to the community is very important to us. Bob is a Board Member of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association (SFAHBA www.sfahba.com ) and is a Green Building Council Co-Chair www.sfahba.com/index.php/green/. He is currently Co-Chair of the 2009 Santa Fe Haciendas A Parade of Homes www.santafehometour.com. Bob is also the Chair of the 2009 SFAHBA Green Building Summit www.sfahba.com/index.php/green/events/. Bob is Co-Chair of the Santa Fe Chapter of New Mexico Solar Energy Association (NMSEA www.nmsea.org).  Bob has been active in both the Santa Fe and Taos Habitat for Humanity and has been instrumental in the Building and Site Selection Committees. He was voted a ”Habitat Hero” in 2003 in Santa Fe. In 2007 he was chosen as one of 1250 people to travel to Nashville, TN, to study the Climate Project with Al Gore. He is studying to become a LEED AP. Educating the public about Climate Change and Energy Conservation is his passion!

Bob’s hobbies include skiing, bicycling, scuba diving and traveling.
