Founded in 1996 in New York City, Messana O’Rorke is a dynamic and evolving practice with a commitment to the inherent value of design to enhance the quality of life at all levels of exposure. The nexus of architecture, contemporary culture and current technology is the constant focus of our endeavors, from research driven investigations to realized projects. An interdisciplinary practice, MO’R has resisted becoming specialized in any particular aspect of architecture, and actively seeks new design challenges. Messana and O’Rorke direct teams of professional and talented individuals in projects both in the United States and internationally. The firm invests its creative energies in a broad range of residential, commercial, institutional and theoretical projects, with a scope that varies from furniture and functional products, to interior architecture and the built environment.

Collaboration is the essential component in MO’R relationships with clients, they focus their experience, expertise and imaginations into realizing the unique aspirations of each project beyond its expectation.
