Today, we bid farewell to 590BC and launch our new name and identity: Breitner Ciaccia—Office of Architecture.

Through its annual OHNY Weekend, Open House New York celebrates the best examples of design and planning throughout the five boroughs, from historic to contemporary, and helps foster a more informed conversation about how architecture and urban design sustain New York as a vibrant place to live, work, and learn.

Visit the spaces where architects work, see new projects and meet the individuals who are designing the future of New York. BC—OA is honored to be included! Stop by Saturday 10/13 from 12-4pm More info HERE

Stefano Grisoglio has joined the BC—OA team. Stefano comes directly from Ivrea, Italy and recently graduated from the Polytechnic University of Turin. His Thesis titled SPACE explores the use of immersive Virtual Reality as a tool to study how humans move through spaces and how it feels to be inside something that is not built. We're hoping to bring this tool and thinking to our next projects. Stay tuned!
