OA Design+Build
+Architecture
An award-winning design + build firm devoted to green building, urban living, and improving quality of life for our clients and the well being of the community.
Making Sustainability Beautiful
for Over 30 Years
Otogawa-Anschel Design/Build — known as OA Design+Build+Architecture — is a Minneapolis-based firm with over three decades of experience transforming homes through integrated design and construction. We are an award-winning practice devoted to green building, urban living, and the belief that sustainability and beauty are not in conflict — they are inseparable.
Our model is unique: we offer full architectural services, interior design, and our own carpentry and construction team under one roof. This integrated approach means that the people who design your home are the same people who build it — resulting in better outcomes, fewer surprises, and a level of craft that is difficult to achieve through traditional contracting.
Our mission is simple: to improve quality of life for our clients and the well being of the community. We pursue that mission through beautiful, resilient, efficient, and healthy design — from the hidden wall systems to the finely crafted finishes.

design + build practice
Architecture
Full in-house architectural services from concept through construction documents. Our licensed architects bring decades of residential design expertise to every project.
Interior Design
Integrated interior design services that ensure every material, finish, and detail is thoughtfully considered and cohesively executed — from flooring to fixtures.
Construction

Our values, in practice
Sustainability First
Green building and environmental stewardship are not add-ons at OA — they are the foundation of every design decision we make.
Local & Community
We believe in the power of local craftspeople, local materials, and local knowledge. Our work improves not just individual homes but the communities they are part of.
Health & Resilience
Beautiful homes should also be healthy homes. We prioritize materials and systems that support indoor air quality, durability, and long-term well-being.
Bespoke Process
Every client, every home, every neighborhood is different. Our process is designed to find the best solution for you — not to apply a formula.
