New construction photos from Brooklyn Prospect High School in Downtown Brooklyn show progress on site, including steel framing for the future library outside the student lounge and the art room taking shape with a new interior window.

The Loci team visited @PrattInstitute this week for a tour of their Assembly Loop Lab, 3D printing facilities, and campus AI tools. An inspiring visit that sparked new ideas for how we can integrate these technologies into future projects. Thanks, Pratt!
Loci celebrated Thanksgiving at Family Meal at Blue Hill. Our second visit and still highly recommended. A delicious four-course farm-to-table meal and great team time… plus a Benedict Cumberbatch sighting because, well, NYC. 🧡🍽️

Team Loci had a mind-blowing night at Speakeasy Magick at The Overlook Bar in NYC! 🔮✨ Back for round two after 2023, and it was just as jaw-dropping. Keita’s watch disappeared again 😳 and sugar turned into cubes right before our eyes. NYC magic at its finest! 🪄
