Osler Robin Elmslie

EOA/Elmslie Osler Architect believes that architecture and design can motivate and inspire individuals and communities. Established in 1996 by Robin Elmslie Osler, AIA, LEED, the firm has designed and worked on numerous public and private projects including homes, lofts and townhomes, retail stores, non-profit facilities, galleries and event venues, offices and public spaces. EOA approaches each project as a unique blend of challenges and opportunities presented by the program, client and site. Our ongoing exploration of materials, depth of design skill and experience of the construction process shapes the work to the needs and desires of the client. With an emphasis on sustainability and an attention to detail, EOA’s portfolio of work is crisp, smart and elegant.

We are adept at renovating historic and existing structures while integrating fresh and contemporary elements thus reinvigorating buildings and adding value to the community. Our award winning retail work is characterized by incorporating an integrated and holistic system of experiences shaped by materials and spatial clarity and has redefined retail as diverse as Anthropologie and the shops at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Our commercial and residential work is developed through in-depth collaboration, enriching and expanding our solutions. GROW Studio is a continuation of our philosophy that integrated systems of programmatic elements can support and sustain an idea and a community, creating opportunities for expanded impact.

Our projects located across the United States and overseas, have been recognized with numerous awards. EOA has been featured in multiple international and national publications and we are consistently listed as one of New York Magazine’s Top 100 Architects. The diversity of our portfolio and the return of well established clients is a confirmation of our talents and the impeccable service we provide.

Recent work includes new retail stores for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a flagship for the Urban Outfitters brand Free People in Tokyo, a hairbrush for Conair, a prototype for a new farmer’s market stand, a luxury loft for a private client, continuing work on a landmark multi-use building in the Meatpacking district of NYC and a new store prototype for a cosmetic brand from L’Oreal.
