Thanks to Jessica Ritz for featuring our project, Yucca Cabin, in your latest book, “Desert Dreaming.” Across North America’s deserts, rugged terrains inspire architects and designers to create spaces that engage with the surrounding environment.

Native rock formations created the framework for the design of our cabin. Nestled among untouched trees and boulders, the two structures follow the land’s natural contours, with carefully placed openings to capture surrounding views.

We’re looking for a passionate, creative, and driven architecture/interiors intern for an immersive paid internship at ORA.

As an intern you’ll contribute to real projects, collaborate with experienced architects and designers, and gain hands-on exposure to all stages of projects.

We’re looking for designers ready to jump straight in  - students who have a genuine love for design, have a strong grasp of architectural software such as Revit and other 3-D modeling tools and are eager to constantly push for the best solution to any design challenge.

Whether you’re detailing a façade or pulling together materials for an interiors presentation, you will be an integral part of the team responsible for the design and realization of projects ranging from high-end residential to hospitality and commercial.

This internship starts immediately and is on-site at our office in the Arts District. If you’re ready to step beyond the classroom and into a studio where you’ll be exposed to all aspects of projects, apply now by sending your portfolio and CV to [email protected].

We’re hiring! We are looking for a studio coordinator to join our team. Visit the link in our bio to apply!

Our design for Pinecone Bakeshop reflects Chef Joyce Hsieh’s deep intentionality and sustainable focus. We reimagined a dark, narrow Alhambra storefront, using skylights, exposed brick, and reclaimed wood to bring the outdoors in.

A great week at connecting with industry leaders and exploring the future of design and architecture. The highlight, by far, was celebrating our founder, Oonagh Ryan, on her induction into the AIA College of Fellows!
