ORA (Oonagh Ryan Architects Inc.)

Based in Los Angeles, ORA shapes cultural and youth performance spaces through high-contrast saturated volumes, integrated environmental graphics, and sweeping timber-lined roof canopies that extend toward surrounding landscapes. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when calibrating scale and visual identity in assembly venues, from embedding graphic artwork into lobby grid systems to detailing structural roof overhangs above performance stages.
