Odami is an award-winning architecture and design studio that aims to converge the pragmatic and the expressive, the subtle and the striking, the familiar and the unexpected.

From our offices in Toronto, Canada, we specialize in the full-service design of commercial spaces, residential architecture, and purposeful furniture, objects, and other material forms.

Led by Arancha González Bernardo, a Spanish architect, and Michael Fohring, a Canadian designer, the practice represents a merging of design values and histories, a process deepened by the contemporary multiculturalism of the city in which we live and work. In embracing difference and purposely working between modes, perspectives, and dichotomies, we’re in search of a fertile meeting ground — a space of conference and connection that gives rise to inventive outcomes

Architecturally, we strive to create environments that are atmospheric, confident, and strongly informed by their sense of place, collaborating closely with our clients to achieve their particular ambitions and goals. We work to uncover evocative forms that are distinctly soulful and simultaneously functional, thoughtfully engaging with materiality to build depth and character.

Across scales, we invoke simple gestures to achieve nuance and presence, summoning diverse approaches into conversation so that something uniquely contemporary may emerge.
