Omar Gandhi Architects

Omar Gandhi Architects was founded in 2010 and works from studios in Halifax, Toronto and Berlin. The practice designs across scales and typologies, from homes and urban infills to medium and large-scale public works and historic landscapes, and has also developed a line of designed products.

OGA’s method is to read the physical and environmental characteristics of each site and of the architecture familiar to a place, then abstract those associations into new forms and interiors, expressed through carefully crafted materials and refined detail. Among its projects are the Schlotfeldt Residence in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, the Rabbit Snare Gorge cabin in Nova Scotia and a landform-like intervention at Peggy’s Cove.
