Christian Robert
AIA, NCARB, LEED APCo-Founder | Principal
Christian Robert, brings over two decades of professional experience in interior and architectural design to his role as Principal and Co-Founder of OFFICEUNTITLED (OU). His design approach is rooted in a deep appreciation for community and connection, drawing inspiration from both European modernism, shaped during his upbringing in Germany, and the vibrant ethos of West Coast culture. Passionate about fostering sustainable and innovative design solutions, Christian is committed to championing eco-friendly practices while infusing projects with creative ingenuity.
As a respected figure in the design community, Christian regularly lectures at universities in Southern California and across the nation. An exploration of design’s intersection with art and architecture has led to collaborations with renowned artists such as Cliff Garten and the Very Many. Christian holds a degree from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and received a federal scholarship to pursue the Graduate Architecture Program at Arizona State University, Tempe.
In 2011, Christian co-founded R&A Design, which later evolved into OU. Prior to this, he served as Senior Designer and Associate at Gensler in Los Angeles and San Diego, where he collaborated with OU Co-founders Shawn Gehle and Ben Anderson on a range of commercial office, hospitality, and interior projects.
My son, Hendrix, 4, and my daughter, Celine, 8, reignited my curiosity and playfulness in and with design and architecture. They also inspired me to set clear goals and values of where we want to take OU in the future.
