Ligature Studio, LLC

Ligature Studio, LLC (formerly Oeftger Architecture) aims to provide an environment that engages the client with interactive design. The purpose of Ligature is to create a workshop for clients to help them realize their ideas through sight, touch, and conversation. Our Studio intends to teach the new home owner the language of design and give their ideas a voice. At Ligature, we take clients on virtual walk-throughs, designing the details of what makes a house a home and "tying" each element, idea and wish into cohesive, beautiful whole to be called home. This process of "tying" elements, ideas and wishes together into a new unified form, is what inspired the name "Ligature." Typographically, a ligature is a combination of two or more letters into a single symbol. In music notation, a ligature is a graphic symbol that tells a musician to perform two or more notes in a single gesture, and on a single syllable. Also, I did not want this architectural service to be about me, thus, I refrained from using my name for the business. You may notice the combination of the "UR" in the name "Ligature," reminding us that as the client, "you are" what is important.
