Sustainability Expertise & Credentials

Sustainability Expertise: Yes
Sustainability Expertise & Credentials:

We are deeply committed to environmentally responsive design and we encourage high aspirations for sustainability from our clients and project partners as well as ourselves. Responsible design begins at home. We stand for mindful design and supporting local and smaller businesses, creatives and products. With a philosophy of quality over quantity, we deliver a holistic approach to sustainable materials and practices, energy demand, reduced water use reduction and, ultimately, healthier environments for all. Every project is rooted in passive design strategies, but that’s only the beginning.

Fire Resiliency Experience: Yes
Fire Resiliency Experience Details:

For us at ORA, living and working in California means resilience is integral to how we design. From the unpredictability of natural disasters to the long-term impacts of climate change, we design places to endure. That means going beyond minimum standards and embedding durability, flexibility and performance from the outset.
“Design for life, beyond the expected” is our philosophy, and that’s reflected not only in our design but in our approach to resilience. This means taking a long-term view, creating spaces that are robust and able to recover, adapt and continue to serve the people and communities who rely on them, whatever the future may bring.

ORA is an architecture and interiors studio based in Los Angeles shaping residential, commercial and hospitality spaces with a considered eye and creative spirit. We collaborate with ambitious clients to shape spaces that are intelligent, enduring and joyful. We design for life beyond the expected. Read more...
