When Adam Snow Frampton, AIA, and Karolina Czeczek decided on Only If as the name for their Brooklyn, N.Y.–based firm, they did so because the phrase “is a condition rather than a definitive—it is optimistic and open-ended.” Seven years later, the duo is forced to embrace this optimism as they navigate the challenges of operating a small practice amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the virus’s U.S. epicenter.
