Global minds, collective impact for diversity driven design
Our team’s strength lies in its diversity. With backgrounds spanning continents and cultures, our colleagues bring a wealth of experience that inform and enrich our design approach. From sustainable design practices rooted in one culture to innovative urban solutions from another, these insights shape our creative process. Together, they help us craft spaces that are thoughtful, adaptive, and resonate across diverse contexts.
Pioneering tomorrow through OKRA Academy’s research journey
OKRA Academy fosters an environment where curiosity thrives. Our team delves into critical topics like urban biotopes and circularity, applying their research to shape more sustainable, resilient urban landscapes. Through this research we encourage each other to challenge the status quo and pioneer new approaches in our design process.
Our deep dive into specialist knowledge
At OKRA, we believe that great design is in the details. While all of our designers are proficient across the entire design process, we foster an environment where those with a particular passion can explore their chosen fields more deeply, allowing them to continuously grow and refine their expertise.
By diving deep into specific areas, we ensure that every design is both practical and visionary, from concept to completion.
Through the designer’s lens: capturing landscapes at OKRA
Our in-house photographers are more than just observers—they’re also the designers behind many of the landscapes they capture. With an intimate understanding of the projects, they bring a unique perspective to photography, revealing the deeper narrative and character of the spaces they helped create.
Sketching in a digital world
In an era dominated by digital tools, we still find inspiration in the simplicity of a hand-drawn sketch. Sketching allows us to explore ideas, capture moments of creative spontaneity, and communicate visions in a way that digital methods sometimes can’t. It’s a timeless tool in our evolving design process.
