From Kumasi to Toronto,
by way of the studio floor.

An architect trained in Ghana, sharpened in London — now building the public spaces and mixed-use neighbourhoods that define how mid-size cities grow without losing themselves.

Kwame Osei is an architect and urban designer whose practice sits at the intersection of community infrastructure, transit-oriented development, and the question of who public space is actually built for. He trained at KNUST in Kumasi and completed his M.Arch in Urban Design at UCL in London.

Before founding Osei Studio he spent five years at Foster + Partners in London, working across cultural and civic projects in the UK, Qatar, and South Korea. That scale — and what it gets wrong — is the reason he started his own practice.

Since 2019 Osei Studio has delivered eighteen completed projects across Toronto, Accra, and Manchester, ranging from a community sports hub in Scarborough to a mixed-income housing block in the Junction. The studio has been recognised by the Canadian Architect Awards and the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
