O’A is a collaborative practice in constant alteration.
It operates at the intersection of spatial experimentation and systemic inquiry, exploring how architecture responds to shifting ecological and technological conditions. Its research unfolds through the development of experimental prototypes-supported by exploratory methods, analytical investigations, and in- depth study.
O’A’s practice examines notions of comfort at the intersection of architecture, technology, and art. Through this lens, it seeks to reveal the hidden and parallel realities that shape our time. O’A operates between theory and practice - both independently and collaboratively.

Malte completed his architecture studies at the UdK Berlin with distinction. His master’s thesis, “194,000,” a reprogramming based on the Green Archipelago, was supervised by Prof. Susanne Hauser and Prof. Jean-Philppe Vassal. Prior to that, he studied at msa, ETH Zurich, and in Studio Kazuyo Sejima in Vienna. He is a co- founder of anders.URANIA, Architects 4THF, and a member of HouseEurope!. Malte has worked as a research associate at LUH Hannover and as a teaching assistant in Vienna and Münster. He is regularly invited as a guest critic and at institutions such as ETH Zurich, TU Berlin, and UdK Berlin. He currently leads his new studio, Dymaxion Studies – On Structural Dynamics, at Neue Architekturschule Siegen.
