OOAU is equipped with the experience and ability to effectively coordinate large multidisciplinary design teams at all stages of the design process.

A key area of interest for the team is the pivotal role of design in bridging the requirements of owners, authorities, and other technical disciplines, as engineering, landscape and urban environment, and how each contribution can be harmoniously articulated, conciliating sometimes seemingly opposing ambitions and needs into well crafted solutions.

Knowledge and understanding of construction methods allows for productive collaboration with construction companies whether on the business owner side, or on the contractor end.

Key examples were the operator-run designs of Tróia Club Med Resort and Carve Lagoon Hotel, and the Design & Build projects of the Doha South Red Line, in Doha, Qatar, or the 1st phase of the Film AlUla Campus, a 12,000m² GFA designed and built in 12 months in AlUla, KSA.

The OOAU team has a proven track record of successfully leading projects, obtaining approvals and overseeing the construction of multiple projects across different regulatory frameworks. These include countries such as Singapore, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and several European countries such as the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Portugal.

Leveraging its national and international network, OOAU regularly participates in and organizes multidisciplinary project-based joint ventures. They collaborate with major engineering offices, urban planners, landscapers, contractors and architectural studios for projects in Portugal and abroad.
