“Office Ou does indeed have fresh ideas: Its thoughtful schemes represent an important thread in contemporary design, the integration of architecture and landscape.
One thing is certain: Canadian architecture has some unlikely new idols.”
— Alex Bozikovic, The Globe and Mail
Selected Awards and Recognition
Through international design competitions, our vision has led us to be selected as the designers, planners and architects of large international projects like the National Museum Complex of South Korea, and Skola Smichov, the first new school to be built near the historic centre of Prague in almost 100 years.
Our Projects have been published in Azure Magazine, the Globe and Mail, Canadian Architect Magazine, Dezeen, Archdaily, Treehugger, Designlines, Landezine, Landscape Architects Network, the OALA’s Ground Magazine, CLAD, the Hamilton Spectator, Global Construction Review, and Inhabitat.
We've had our work exhibited at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal in Paris, The Design Exchange, Gladstone Grow-Op, Messe Berlin, the National Library of South Korea, EDIT Expo, the Daelim Museum, the Korean Institute of Culture and Architecture International Exhibition, and KYFE.
