Shortlisted for architect of the year at Dezeen Awards 2019, ODA is a New York-based architecture practice founded in 2007, by Eran Chen, Founder and Design Director.

The studio focuses on recognising and honouring the unique characteristics of each of their built spaces—to arrange them in new ways, respectful of their differences. Through a range of projects, ODA seeks to reconcile the conditions of vertical urban living with the qualities which benefit and nurture us as human beings: the desire for protected shelter while observing wide perspectives, the seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, and the general improvement of life through good design.
