Hangzhou Prism / OMA

Miwa Negoro — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 07:00:00 +0000

OMA's design for Xinhu Hangzhou Prism is integrated into the beauty of the surrounding natural landscape. The complex will house a hotel, retail space, lofts, and an atrium garden. Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, is known as one of China's most beautiful cities with a high quality of life.

Beymen Tersane / OMA

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Following decades of abandonment, Tersane-i Âmire, Istanbul's former Ottoman Imperial Arsenal and the center of the Empire's naval production for over four centuries, is being redeveloped into a mixed-use waterfront district comprising hotels, cultural facilities, retail, and public spaces.

New Museum of Contemporary Art / OMA

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Our first cultural institution in New York is a new addition to the New Museum next door to its iconic SANAA-designed building at 235 Bowery. The New Museum has been growing in visitors, exhibitions, and activities. Its diverse engagements, including its expansive education programs, its cultural incubator NEW INC, and, of course, its globally recognized exhibition program have been transforming the institution into a cultural laboratory. We were asked to add a new building that provides much-needed space for its expanded activities and simultaneously reflects increasingly public ambitions—duplicating the program and square footage on a site immediately adjacent to the existing SANAA-designed building—part and counterpart, side-by-side.

Casa Wabi Mushroom Pavilion / OMA

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

The Mushroom Pavilion is now open at Fundación Casa Wabi, joining the campus of art and community facilities founded by Mexican artist Bosco Sodi. The project marks OMA's first built work in Mexico. Located in the foundation's sprawling 65 acres of natural landscape between the mountains and the Oaxacan coast, the Mushroom Pavilion is a space for cultivating mushrooms while fostering exchange between food, art, nature, and local communities.

Mangalem 21 / OMA + Kontakt.Ltd

Hadir Al Koshta — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The project covers a plot of land in the eastern part of the city, bordered by mountains and former communist quarters to the north, and informal settlements from the 1990s to the south. The site has a very prominent slope: the difference between the lowest and the highest point is 27 meters, an equivalent of a nine-story building.

JOMOO Headquarters / OMA

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 03:00:00 +0000

JOMOO Headquarters is the first office campus for China's largest sanitaryware company. Located in Xiamen's central business district, the building stands between dense high-rises on one side and forested hills on the other, encapsulating the coexistence of nature and urbanization that defines the island city's landscape.

AIR Circular Campus and Cooking Club / OMA + Zarch Collaboratives

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 03:00:00 +0000

How do we transform fine dining from an exclusive, passive consumption experience into an active and shared journey? Can fine dining go beyond pleasure and inspire broader thinking about food and the environment, on topics such as responsible ingredient sourcing and food waste? OMA was tasked to design the dining and cooking space for AIR in Singapore, where these questions are addressed.

Scenography for the 2025 Islamic Arts Biennale / OMA

Hana Abdel — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The 2025 Islamic Arts Biennale displays over 500 historical objects and 30 contemporary art commissions—more than double the content of the inaugural edition. Spread across five galleries, two pavilions, and the outdoor spaces under SOM's Hajj Terminal canopy, the exhibition is divided into three indoor areas—AlBidayah (The Beginning), AlMadar (The Orbit), and Almuqtani (Homage)—and the outdoor Almidhallah (The Canopy).

The Gallery of the Kings Museo Egizio / OMA + Andrea Tabocchini Architecture

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 07:00:00 +0000

The Gallery of the Kings, which houses a collection of colossal statues from the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes (modern-day Luxor), has long been the highlight of any visit to the Museo Egizio. Remodeled by set designer Dante Ferretti in 2006, the gallery was transformed into an exquisite black box. As the museum approaches its 200th anniversary, the task of renovating the gallery raises important questions: While these historic artifacts are highlighted as the centerpieces of a contemporary museum, can their original context still be conveyed? Can the gallery captivate a broad audience while imparting deep historical knowledge?

Simone Veil Bridge / OMA

Hadir Al Koshta — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

The Simone Veil Bridge consists of a platform stretched across the River Garonne in Bordeaux that is 549 meters in length and 44 meters wide. The bridge provides a new linear public space for the city. It abandons any interest in style, form, and blatant structural expression in favor of a commitment to performance and an interest in potential use by the people of Bordeaux.

LANTERN / OMA

Paula Pintos — Mon, 20 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

LANTERN, OMA’s first project in Detroit, is now open to the public in Little Village, a neighborhood-wide initiative of Library Street Collective (LSC) co-founders Anthony & JJ Curis. Led by OMA Partner Jason Long, the former commercial bakery and warehouse built in the 1900s has been converted into a mixed-use art hub and public space.

Apollolaan 171 / OMA

Paula Pintos — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The Apollolaan is a prominent green avenue in Amsterdam’s south district, within a unique neighborhood defined by Berlage’s architecture from the early twentieth century, and the iconic Hilton Hotel by the Dutch modernist H.A. Maaskant. In the late 1980s, the JP Morgan Bank organized a design competition for its new office located at a corner site along the Apollolaan. The monolithic design by Wim Quist with a largely opaque façade – suiting the security needs of the bank – was favored against other competition entries, including that of OMA. As the building transformed from the space for a single financial institution into rental offices in the subsequent years, the original design could no longer meet the new functional needs, or the anticipation of the tenants to work in a more open work environment connected with the neighborhood.

Toranomon Hills Station Tower / OMA/Shohei Shigematsu

Paula Pintos — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Developed by Mori Building, the 49-story mixed-use tower is the firm’s first ground-up building in Tokyo and the largest built work to date. The building is the final installment of Mori Building’s vision for the Toranomon Hills Area and central Tokyo as a new Global Business Center hub.

Factory International Aviva Studios / OMA

Paula Pintos — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Since it was launched in 2007, the Manchester International Festival has taken place in existing buildings both large and small throughout the city. But spaces with the qualities needed by the art pieces commissioned by the Festival are fewer and fewer, disappearing amid Manchester’s fast-paced redevelopment into England’s new economic hub. In 2015 Manchester City Council launched an architecture competition for a new kind of art venue for the Manchester International Festival (MIF), capable of hosting both art performances and exhibitions, separately or simultaneously.

Buffalo AKG Art Museum / OMA

Paula Pintos — Wed, 23 Aug 2023 07:00:00 +0000

We often say that there are only two types of museums: a museum in the park, embedded in the tranquility of nature, and a museum in the city, implanted within the energy of urbanism. The Buffalo AKG Art Museum is both. It sits at the northern edge of the historic Delaware Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The city is known for its history of industrial revolution and the current revitalization of remnants from that past. It has a rich architectural history—from silos and manufacturing facilities to buildings by Eero Saarinen, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Tiffany Landmark / OMA

Paula Pintos — Mon, 22 May 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Tiffany & Co. is a New York icon and retail enterprise providing luxury goods ranging from stationery and everyday objects to fine jewelry. A history of innovation and devotion to timeless beauty and pragmatism, underlines how the specialty design house shaped and re-shaped local and global retail landscape.

Beyond the Surface Installation / OMA

Paula Pintos — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 06:00:00 +0000

For its second participation at the Milan Design Week, SolidNature commissioned OMA to design an installation that explores the journey of natural stone from its geological formation to the finished product.
