What We Built Together in 2019
We thought FOX Architects was on a roll in 2018, but 2019 was even better! Our new, unified office in West End, Washington, DC earned a three-star rating in the Fitwel certification system — the highest level of this wellness criteria. We completed projects we’re proud of, added to our talented staff, won even more awards for our work, and made some exciting plans for the future of our firm. As we prepare for more challenges in the new year, we wanted to look back on some of our notable accomplishments and what we built together in 2019.
