Why Ovo?
When thinking of how to name our firm, we were inspired by the most elegant, elemental design we could imagine: the egg.
Symbolically, life starts with an egg, which grows into something more. It’s our first home — a beautiful and perfectly designed structure whose purpose is immediately understandable. To hold an egg is to know flawless design, to admire its coolness as well as its warmth. This is how we imagine great architecture to be, too: elegant, simple, easy to understand and navigate while possessing that magical raw quality that connects us to nature and our roots
