After Hours: Bernheimer Architecture + Once–Future

The League’s monthly After Hours events, formerly called First Fridays, are informal social gatherings that allow members to visit the offices of leading design practices and see work on the boards.

Bernheimer Architecture

Bernheimer Architecture (BA) is a Brooklyn-based architectural practice focusing on the design of affordable and supportive housing for New York’s most vulnerable population. Founded in 2011 by Andrew Bernheimer, the 19-person practice is committed to “designing sustainable and resilient architecture by crafting productive environments for people and their communities,” in the firm’s own words. In 2022, Bernheimer Architecture Union, the first private sector architects’ union in the U.S. in more than 80 years, was voluntarily recognized by BA management.

Once–Future

Brooklyn-based design studio Once–Future Office works across brand identities, campaigns, publications, digital products, and environment activations. An award-winning, M/WBE-certified firm, Once–Future was founded by Dungjai Pungauthaikan and Nikki Chung in 2012. Across branding, environmental graphics, and wayfinding, the studio has collaborated with OMA, Michael Maltzan Architecture, and SCAPE, among others.
