We approach the creative process as an opportunity to develop honest, responsive architectural solutions—spaces thoughtfully crafted around the people who inhabit them. Our role is to seamlessly weave each project into its surrounding context while balancing function, beauty, and experience. Every client, collaborator, artist, and friend plays an integral part in the process, helping transform ideas into something meaningful. We believe great design and a higher quality of everyday life are inherently connected.

Our purpose is to develop / design / build, and fabricate exemplary works of art.

[oo-d-a] studio, inc. is a multidisciplinary collaboration studio composed of architects, designers, developers, and general contractors. We create usable, habitable architectural spaces that merge thoughtful design with precision craftsmanship.

Our services include feasibility studies, proforma development, cost analysis, architectural design, permitting, bidding, fabrication, and construction.

Shortly after earning a Master of Architecture degree, founder and licensed Architect and General Contractor Dominique Rene Houriet relocated to Southern California with the ambition of practicing design and construction. In 2008, [oo-d-a] studio opened its doors.

The firm is rooted in responsive contemporary design, where each solution emerges directly from the needs of the user and the influence of the surrounding natural environment. With projects spanning the United States and Mexico, [oo-d-a] studio has become recognized for its thoughtful craftsmanship across both residential and commercial work.

In addition to architectural services, [oo-d-a] studio partners with developers to create income-generating assets across mixed-use, multifamily, hospitality, retail, and entertainment sectors.
