Oculus Architects

Oculus Architecture® was founded in Chicago in 1998, and in 2016 a decision was made to move the firm’s headquarters to Orange County, CA. The firm is now comprised of 16 experienced partners, whose careers in Architecture are diverse, and talent is exceptional. As an award winning firm, with an egalitarian structure, Oculus Architecture® leads the industry in the design of mixed use, housing, retail, entertainment, bars and restaurants, and institutional architecture.

We hire the best talent in the industry, and step out of their way. While the firm has offices in Chicago, Omaha, the Bay Area of San Francisco, and Chongqing, China, our home is near the Pacific Ocean in the coastal community of Costa Mesa, adjacent to Newport Beach.  So with our work ethic originating in the Midwest, we are trend forward in our Design approach, project knowledge and delivery speed. Most of our partners have over 25 years of experience… and we like to say “what is old is new again”.
