OP relishes digging into the specific ecosystems that surround each project through listening sessions, diagramming patterns of movement and place, and understanding user ambitions. For many clients, OP helps identify enterprise opportunities to amplify project impact.⁴ OP’s approach is driven by resourcefulness, sustainability, and beauty.

OP’s work ranges in scale. We see large strategic planning efforts and small object-scale assignments as powerful avenues for connection.⁵

By social infrastructure we mean the organizations, places, programs, and people (and their various entanglements!) who support the building and maintaining of a community.
Understanding the mechanisms of private and public financing can give architects agency to act opportunistically (in the best way possible) and help fund both design and execution. We find ourselves partnering with our clients as they embark on grant writing and capital campaigns to share ambitious visions, another way we build out the community around any given project.
Our ongoing project, Current Objects, brings together and provides a platform for architects who create objects in the course of their research and design practices. While each object is small in scale (less than 36 inches in any dimension), in its collective, the project represents a broader take on the interests and activities of the architect, delivering ideas about craft, methods of fabrication, material properties and economies, etc.
