Bob Escher, AIA
In 1988, Bob Escher envisioned a company whose primary objective was to deliver the
unique vision of each client without
compromising artistic excellence, innovation
and attention to detail.
That commitment served him well and his
architectural practice Escher Design,
in Dorset Vermont as flourished.
Bob hails from an impressive family of
builders and engineers
whose projects include New York’s
original Yankee Stadium and
Switzerland’s Gotthard Tunnel.
A practicing architect for over thirty years, his firm features a national portfolio of completed projects in numerous states including New York, Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, Colorado,
Massachusetts and Vermont.
In 2017, his son, Alex, introduced
him to industrial hemp.
Sustainable and eco-friendly, this ancient
plant’s versatility is legendary in the
history of modern construction.
From hempcrete walls that regulate indoor
air quality to toxic-free paints, carpets,
textiles and upholstery, hemp is well poised
to revolutionize the construction industry.
With an eye toward the future, Alex joined the firm and the duo embarked on a mission to create the aesthetic of hempcrete
by developing and producing a proprietary
hemp wall system.

Ready to challenge old standards and eager to inspire novel solutions, Escher Design finds itself at the forefront of innovation.
With hemp based projects scheduled

New York State, Missouri and Denver
Escher Design will have ample opportunity
to elevate architecture to a new level
in the US and abroad.

Escher Design along with
The US Hemp Building Association
are poised to enter a new era by creating
a new design genre
in the construction industry.
