Welcome to SDS Studio Tours, Over the Atlantic edition! We’re switching up the format in efforts to create a more focused event that showcases an in-depth look at Sudbury’s design community. On September 19th, we’ll be visiting Over the Atlantic to take a look at their team’s design process in successfully executing a project, and potentially a few bumps they’ve experienced along the way. By showcasing a presentation, Q&A session, and time to socialize afterwards, this event will allow for a more authentic view of a successful studio, and a better opportunity to be engaged with individual firms within the community. A special shout-out goes to OTA, the studio that has been so closely involved in making this evening an incredible and fun experience. See you there!
