Format Architecture Office completes a renovation project for Leica, the renowned camera and sports optics manufacturer, in New York.

Rise and Shine: Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024
This time of year, I’m trying to get as much outside time as possible, knowing that all too soon it’s going to be cold and gray and miserable a lot of the time.
