Original Copy specializes in editorial, curatorial, and communications projects within architecture and design.

Working across multiple platforms, the office strives to generate new productive content and open conversation, reexamining how architecture and design are presented and discussed, and focusing on discourse beyond the mere presentation of completed work.

Original Copy was founded by Julia van den Hout in 2014, and is a certified WBE in NYS.
