Ossatures — structural design studio
Ossatures is a structural design studio focused on steel frameworks for residential and mid-scale commercial projects. We work with architects and builders from the first parametric sketch to the final bolted connection — documenting each step so the logic of the structure stays readable.
Who we are
A small team of structural engineers and computational designers. We specialize in lightweight steel framing, ventilated facades, and bolted joint coordination — the technical layers that make architectural concepts buildable.
Who we work for
Architects who need precise section details, builders who want clear assembly sequences, and students looking for real construction references. Our portfolio documents each project from profile calculation to on-site photography.
How we communicate
Direct and technical. We share drawings, section details, and construction photos rather than abstract promises. Each case study includes a technical memo and the reasoning behind the structural choices.
We sit between architectural design and construction reality. Our work covers the full chain — parametric modeling, steel profile selection, joint coordination, and photorealistic assembly visualization. This means the drawings we deliver are ready for fabrication, not just for presentation.
The team
A small group of structural engineers and architectural designers who work on every project from the first parametric sketch to the final bolted joint on site.
Lead Structural Engineer
Eleven years of experience in lightweight steel framing and connection design. She coordinates the calculation of profiles and the production of shop drawings for every project.
Architectural Designer
Focuses on ventilated facades and the visual language of steel skeletons. He translates structural constraints into clean architectural details that hold up in section drawings.
Site Coordinator
Manages assembly sequences and bolted joint execution on site. His field notes feed directly back into the design office, closing the loop between drawing and construction.
