What OCRA does

OCRA – Officina Creazioni Ricerche Architettoniche is a privately held architecture and engineering studio headquartered at Via Castelrosso, 10 in Rome, Italy. Operating under the trade name OCRA Studio, the firm provides a full suite of professional services including architectural design, urban planning, landscape design, structural consulting, fire safety design, energy efficiency consulting, construction site management, and workplace safety coordination. It serves both public-sector clients (municipalities such as Budapest and Comune di Morazzone, plus cultural and sports institutions) and private-sector clients (developers, hospitality operators, corporate tenants, and individuals) on project-based engagements spanning housing, retail, landscape, leisure, culture, and mixed-use typologies.

The firm's technical differentiators rest on three documented proprietary or specialty systems: the TECA dual-glass climate control structure with integrated wind turbines and photovoltaic panels; a sustainable mixed construction system using laminated timber, X-LAM panels, steel pillars, and reinforced concrete foundations paired with solar lamellas; and specialty draining asphalt with colored pigments used for environmental mimicry in landscape work. Projects have been delivered in Italy (Lazio, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Varese province, and Sardinia) and internationally in Budapest, Hungary, and Accra, Ghana, with the largest disclosed contract being the €6,000,000 Porto Cervo Resort development in Sardinia.

OCRA generates revenue through professional-services fees tied to individual architectural and engineering commissions, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales — direct client engagement with municipalities, cultural institutions, and private developers, supplemented by a website portfolio for top-of-funnel visibility. The firm has no public listing, no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds on record.
