In architecture, as in life, authenticity doesn’t declare itself, it reveals itself. It’s invisible until, in the smallest gesture or the most unique detail, it shows its true nature. It is in this subtle precision that OTIIMA stands apart, embodying a design philosophy that goes beyond inspiration. OTIIMA is in the United States with the same vision, precision, and essence that have defined the brand from the start. Because, authenticity isn’t a choice, it’s where you come from. We’ve always believed that less reveals more. True minimalism demands transparency, purpose, and clear intention, an authenticity that can’t be faked or copied. In a world full of references, where it’s easy to lose touch with the source, we’ve held firmly to ours. Over the years, we’ve seen our name used, our ideas copied. But no one can replicate our DNA. And it’s this uniqueness that now brings our presence directly to the U.S. market — no intermediaries, no distortions, no imitations. There is only one OTIIMA.

Today, June 25, 2025, Álvaro Siza Vieira celebrates his 92nd birthday. A revolutionary in the field of architecture, Siza's legacy goes beyond buildings; it shapes our perception, feelings, and experiences of space. Born in Matosinhos, Portugal, Siza has long been recognized as a master of restraint. His architecture whispers rather than shouts, respecting the landscape and honoring tradition while simultaneously expressing a deeply contemporary language. His work navigates the interplay of light and shadow, geometry and emotion, simplicity and complexity. From the Boa Nova Tea House and the Serralves Museum in Portugal to the Iberê Camargo Foundation in Brazil, his projects demonstrate a consistent commitment to timeless design and architectural integrity. Siza has received numerous awards, including the Pritzker Prize (1992), the UIA Gold Medal, and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Siza famously stated, "Architects do not invent anything; they transform reality." For over seven decades, he has embodied this idea, transforming cities and lives through architecture that is as subtle as it is profound.
