Iker Ochotorena is the founder and director of OOAA Architecture The studio initiates its activity in 2011, and has its headquarters in Madrid. This is not the first, and it won’t be the last time we talk about their work.
Its projects are the result of an in-depth search. They create voids and volumes carefully shaped with geometries, lines, and transitions, which, together with the use of refined materials, achieve a silent, serene, and warm architecture.
Through the optimization of natural and economic resources, they achieve a timeless and simple architecture that recreates a calm, protective, and even healing atmosphere.
Time and passion, tradition and modernity, this is the secret of OOAA’s nude architecture.
