AURA was founded in 2014 by Andrei Mihai and Raluca Ștefan after a decade of work between Cluj-Napoca, Milan and Copenhagen.
“The best buildings are the ones that quietly outlast their decade.”
The studio occupies a converted printing workshop on Strada Sfântul Ștefan. We are deliberately small — eight architects and one office dog — and we keep our project list short so every space we draw receives the attention it deserves. We work in section before plan, in matter before image, and we believe the best buildings are the ones that quietly outlast their decade.
