+ Ideas
Each project begins with a clear idea that is reinforced throughout the process. We believe in an architecture of relationships: between public and private, interior and exterior, building and nature.
We design from connection, not from form.

+ Common sense
Designing with coherence is essential. Every decision must resonate with the original idea, the location, the materials, and the studio's values.
We strive for architecture without artifice, but with depth.
+ Coherence
Common sense guides our decisions, from project implementation to the choice of materials. We value simplicity, honesty, and directness.
Everything must speak the same language, with clarity and authenticity.
+ Material
For OAU, materials aren't just finishes; they're a starting point. Their selection occurs from the earliest stages and becomes a conceptual and expressive tool for the design.
We design from concrete, from wood, from what speaks to the place.
+ Process
Our methodology revolves around the process. A process involving multiple variables, diverse agents, and a collective commitment. We believe in an architecture built with others: clients, technicians, builders, users.
Every actor contributes. Every decision counts.
Team Members
Our team works with empathy, analysis, and intuition to create meaningful proposals.
At OAU, designing is a collective act.
