Our Story
AUAR was founded on a simple belief: high-quality housing should be easy to build. Better for people. Better for the planet.
Founded by Mollie Claypool and Gilles Retsin after more than a decade working across architecture, manufacturing, and robotics, AUAR exists to fix a core failure in construction. Homebuilding is local and constantly changing. Most industrial systems are not. Fixed factories don’t match how homes are actually built.
So we took a different path. We build with the industry, not around it. We ship robots into live sites, learn fast, and improve with every deployment. Homebuilders set the bar. We adapt. We iterate. We get better.
We’re building toward a future with a network of thousands of Micro-Factories — a global production layer for housing. A future where beautiful, affordable homes are simply normal.
