OBRA is a distinguished design studio and gallery that specializes in comprehensive project design for buildings, interiors, and gardens. Established in Brooklyn in 2015 by Roberto Sosa, OBRA has evolved into an innovative hub of creativity, bringing together multidisciplinary talents and fostering collaboration with clients and partners in both residential and commercial projects. The studio expanded to Los Angeles in 2020 to cater to clientele on the West Coast and in Mexico, and in 2023, it opened a gallery and retail space in Silver Lake, further enriching its offerings.
The name 'OBRA,' derived from Spanish, symbolizes the art of building and the intricate processes involved in design and creation. Roberto Sosa's extensive journey in architecture began at the School of Architecture at Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas in Venezuela, where he absorbed the rich legacy of Latin American modernism. This unique background informs the signature aesthetic of OBRA, combining classically modern design with the individuality of each client, as exemplified through varied projects like historic farmhouses, farm-to-table restaurants, coastal estates, and plantation cottages.
OBRA is powered by a dynamic team of designers, artists, and tradespeople, each contributing their unique perspectives rooted in Modernism and bolstered by diverse global experiences. The studio offers an extensive range of services including property feasibility, design concept development, planning, permitting, and project management. Its interior design services emphasize the selection of custom-designed furniture, lighting, and art that reflect a thoughtfully curated palette.
In addition to its design services, OBRA Gallery showcases a rotating roster of featured artists and offers an array of curated vintage furniture and artworks at their retail space. Committed to blending creativity with functionality, OBRA embodies a personalized approach to each design journey, making it a go-to destination for those seeking inspired architectural and interior solutions.
