With design studios in Toronto and Halifax, the firm has cultivated a portfolio that spans from innovative residential projects to large-scale public works, each embodying a unique dialogue between site-specificity and architectural ingenuity.
OGA's design philosophy is rooted in a deep engagement with context, where each project becomes an evolution or abstraction of familiar architectural typologies. The firm's approach involves a meticulous unraveling of client briefs, coupled with an astute analysis of site conditions, resulting in boldly reimagined forms that challenge conventional spatial experiences.
Under the leadership of Principal Omar Gandhi, alongside Associates Jeff Shaw, Stephanie Hosein, and Jordan Rice, the practice has garnered international acclaim. Notable projects like the Schlotfeldt Residence in British Columbia and the Rabbit Snare Gorge cabin in Nova Scotia exemplify OGA's mastery in harmonizing modern interventions with rugged landscapes.
The firm's work is characterized by its tectonic expressiveness, materiality, and attention to detail. OGA's designs often feature a juxtaposition of robust forms with delicate architectural refinements, creating spaces that are at once striking and intimately connected to their environment.
Recognized with prestigious accolades including the Canada Council for the Arts Professional Prix de Rome and the Canadian Governor General's Medal in Architecture, OGA continues to push the boundaries of architectural discourse, cementing its position as a formidable force in contemporary design.
