OA arquitectura is a mid-sized architectural firm based in Monterrey, N.L. Mexico since 1992. Headed by Oscar E. Alanís, OA is a strong design practice that also provides a comprehensive range of architectural, interior and construction services. The firm has served clients on projects that include residences, commercial, corporate and institutional interior buildings and spaces.

 

Architectural ideas are drawn from the project site and the client's needs and desires. These then are expressed through manipulations of form and light. OA's work clearly presents a visual consistency based on human proportions, the exploration of light, and the use of materials that provide singular tactile, visual, spatial and temporal experiences.

Oscar is the founder of the OA arquitectura. Graduate architect from Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM). He has a certified course in Project Management from Universidad Iberoamericana in Monterrey. 

Under his leadership the firm has grown from an exclusively residential practice to one with expertise in a variety of project types - always guided by principles of design and service. He has worked on the development of projects from the concept through administration and construction since 1992, these projects include residences, commercial, corporate and institutional. 

Valeria joined the team in 2009 as project architect. Graduate architect from Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL). She also has studied a residential landscape course at Cambridge, MA. She has worked on a variety of projects since joining OA arquitectura. Her involvement has ranged from schematic design through construction documents and construction administration.
