Handel Architects
SOLD OUT — We are hopeful we will be able to increase our capacity for this event, but at the time we are sold out. To be added to the wait list email rsvp@archleague.org.
Join Handel Architects at its office for drinks, informal conversation, and a behind the scenes look at recent and upcoming projects. This program is part of First Friday, a monthly opportunity for League members to visit the offices of leading design practices to see work on the boards and learn more about the offices’ organization and design processes. These informal social gatherings feature happy hour drinks arranged by the host office.
