we are
ONOMA ARCHITECTURE
We see your home as a living expression of who you are—a quiet legacy woven into the land itself.
Rooted in the ancient Greek word onoma, meaning “name,” our philosophy embraces the belief that a name carries meaning, memory, and identity. In the same way, we approach each home as a deeply personal reflection of its inhabitants—designed with intention, shaped by your story, and grounded in a sense of place.

A Boutique Practice, A Personal Experience
Boutique & Personal
ONOMA Architecture is intentionally boutique—allowing us to offer a level of attention and intimacy that larger firms often can't. Our scale is our strength: it enables us to work closely with each client, tailoring the design process to reflect your identity, values, and individual goals.

OUR TEAM
OUR TEAM
BRYAN PENDZ, PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT / OWNER
Bryan approaches architecture as a dialogue—between craft and technology, land and structure, story and form. With a background in custom residential design, he leads ONOMA Architecture with the belief that buildings should not only endure, but resonate.
His work is grounded in material honesty and the rhythms of place. Each project is an exploration of identity—shaped by the people who inhabit it and the landscapes it inhabits. Bryan’s process is immersive and intuitive, guided by listening: to clients, to context, to the quiet cues that shape meaningful design.
At ONOMA, he has cultivated a practice that merges precision with poetry, where sustainability is foundational—not optional. Through RemoteCraft™ and other innovations, Bryan continues to evolve how architecture is made—without losing sight of why it’s made.
