Our Story
Founded in 2009, we initially focused on the revitalization of downtown Los Angeles through the adaptive reuse of existing buildings and spaces. Through the years, we have expanded our services to design for a variety of adaptive reuse and new construction projects and we continue to expand our imprint across greater Southern California and further afield. Today, our design work has touched over 500 projects, from two-million square foot historic landmarks to small, local cafes. From the design of boutique hotels, multifamily housing, workplaces, to retail, dining, and theaters, our projects are welcoming environments that become essential parts of their communities.
Our team of architects and interior designers share our belief in the power of design to positively transform. The varied backgrounds of our individual team members are celebrated, embraced, and acknowledged for their capacity to contribute based on their unique talents and skills.
Design Philosophy
Vision - What we do
Our work aims to transform, to revitalize, to bring strength and multiplicity to our communities. We hope to inspire and promote authentic connections between the people, the history, and spirit of a place. Our designs aspire to evoke a warm, open, creative mindset that comes from our California surroundings. The results are design solutions that feel like they were meant to be, are embedded, and resonate with the people and their environment.
Mission - Our why
Architecture can nurture human needs and act as a catalyst for a more equitable and livable urban future. Our mission as designers at Omgivning is to uncover this potential. We see this purpose as a critical step in shaping resilient communities, supporting natural systems, and helping humans thrive.
