Studio OMT Architects is an innovative architectural firm dedicated to creating sustainable, context-sensitive designs that harmonize with local cultures and environments. With offices in Berlin, Nairobi, and Poznan, the firm operates on a global scale, delivering projects that blend modern aesthetics with traditional influences. At the heart of Studio OMT’s ethos is a commitment to sustainability, adaptability, and community-centered design. The firm’s approach integrates local materials, traditional craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology to craft buildings that not only respond to their immediate environment but also contribute positively to their social and ecological context.
One of Studio OMT’s key areas of focus is timber construction. Recognizing the potential of engineered wood as a renewable, low-carbon alternative to conventional materials, the firm champions mass timber solutions in both small and large-scale projects. By promoting sustainable forestry and localized supply chains, Studio OMT not only reduces environmental impact but also supports regional economies and promotes responsible building practices.
Beyond material choices, the studio emphasizes spatial flexibility, ensuring that buildings can adapt to changing user needs over time. Whether designing residential complexes, public institutions, or mixed-use developments, the firm prioritizes longevity, efficiency, and a human-centred experience. Their projects often incorporate biophilic elements, natural lighting, and passive design strategies to enhance well-being and reduce energy consumption.
