The cofounders of Studio Opla were our architects-next-door before we moved to the city centre. Over the bunch of quiche slices we shared at La Kantine Du Canal, we felt for their perspectives on architecture and lifecycle of materials, not to mention all the Portuguese food spots they recommended us.
One day, we sneaked into their office and dropped our selection of frames on their desks, without a word. Apparently, it was a homerun.
