the work you are doing is fantastic
Peter E is jealous
Wonderful subject! Thank you for that colossal work 🙏🏾
I’ve been quite captivated by their 56 Leonard Street NYC project (2017). Sure, it’s a yet another tower for the wealthy but given the constraints of the brief, the site, etc—and, let’s face it, the overwhelming banality of most examples of its kind—56 Leonard is a delight.
