Studio O+A received the International Interior Design Association’s 2010 Northern California Award, for their work on Facebook’s headquarters in California. The couple previously designed offices for Paypal.
Verda has a unique approach to design and research, which involves an integrated consideration of several important social and environmental issues. These include climate activism, the environment, social justice and art. She believes in putting people and the planet at the forefront of design philosophy.
For example, careful thought and research is put into selecting sustainable materials and reducing the carbon footprint of designs. Her designs strive to minimise the use of materials and to ensure that they have been ‘produced’, with ethical and fair treatment of the workforce.
She engages with the public and seeks their opinions, in a novel way. This is through a mobile office (a converted food truck) called, ‘Food for Thought Truck’. The truck has been used to go into local communities, allowing interaction between designers / architects and the public.
