Microscape In The Press
"If New York has a special place in your heart, you can now keep a tiny part of it in your home."
Architectural Digest
"William Ngo of architectural design firm TO+WN Design and Alan Silverman of visualization firm AJSNY have collaborated on Microscape, a new project that makes those lust-worthy museum-quality scale models more accessible."
Slate - February 04, 2016
"And for those of you who aren’t 100 percent convinced that New York is the greatest city on earth, if this version of the microscapes is a success, eventually other cities in the US and around the world will be miniaturized and made available on a tile-by-tile basis so you can expand your scale empire."

Microscape In Our Customers' Words
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "I just wanted to let you know the package was delivered today – right on time. She is going to lose her mind when she sees it – it is so much more interesting and impressive and pretty in person. Also – kudos on the packaging method your guys came up with – easily the most impressively, creatively and effectively packaged item I’ve ever received. Thank you so much for everything. As soon as I give it over and she hangs it/displays it, I’ll snap a photo and share it on your FB. Thanks a million – no idea how I’m going to top this next year."
J. King (Direct Order Customer)

L. Johannes (Kickstarter Backer)
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "09-E, The Empire State Building arrived to the UK safe and sound, thanks! My fiancée will love it. This will be (one of) my wedding present(s) to her. Two years ago I proposed to her on top of the ESB and this week we will fly back to NYC and get married there. So, this model will mean much more to us than something pretty on our coffee table."
G. Tothmihaly (Kickstarter Backer)

Will Powell (Direct Order Customer)
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Most models you find on the web are less than convincing and quite kitschy, so I've been pretty excited to learn that your Microscapes are both incredibly detailed and affordable at the same time. They're very sophisticated, high-end quality products and definitely great pieces of art."
Johannes Becker (Direct Order Customer)
