Who we are

“We have no interest in loud,
statement-creation architecture.”

OFYK was originally established in 2012 and subsequently incorporated as OFYK Architects in 2018.

Our works aspire to high levels of clarity of space and form. Distilled to the essential, each project is crafted with rigour and precision, guided by the timeless architectural ideals of scale, proportion and order. Rooted in pragmatics yet open to wonder, our approach balances rationality with intuition. We resist trends and avoid unnecessary complexity in design, unwavering in our belief that through the quiet power of things carefully made, thoughtfully placed, attuned to the specifics of client, climate and context, poetics unique to each project will surface naturally and hopefully lift the spirits of those who inhabit it.
