Orma Architettura

Overview

Orma Architettura is a practice based in Corte, in the mountains of central Corsica, run by four partners who met at the Marseille school of architecture: Alicia Orsini, François Tramoni, Jean-Mathieu de Lipowski and Michel de Rocca Serra. Its houses, schools, hotels and lighthouse rehabilitation projects across the island draw on Corsican building traditions, local stone and laricio pine. The office was selected for the AJAP in 2018 and received the Académie d'architecture's Prix Delarue in 2024.
