Now Here is an award-winning Los Angeles based office that works
to transgress distinctions between buildings, objects, interiors, texts, and drawings. Formed in 2017, Now Here is equally interested in what is made present by architecture, as well as what is thought and suggested by it. Both “Nowhere” and “Now Here”, the work of the office looks to the reciprocity of ideas and things to generate alternative
engagements with architecture.
