Our Practice
Untethered by typology or scale, our practice maintains an unwavering commitment to craft, community, and architectural excellence
Bold Audacity with Deep Professional Experience
OU embodies the audacity and spirit of a nimble design practice, paired with the confidence and depth typically found in larger, well-established firms. This rare fusion allows us to deliver fearless, expressive designs, backed by decades of expertise—offering clients a unique balance of bold creativity and dependable execution.
Cultural Alchemists
OU thrives on exploring uncharted territory, drawing from Los Angeles’ role in the global cultural vanguard of art, entertainment, fashion, and music. Consistently fueled by these influences, we craft environments that breathe, inspire, and spark human creativity, fostering genuine connection and innovation.
A Lo-Fi/Hi-Fi Approach
Our lo-fi/hi-fi approach represents a balance between raw, intuitive exploration and refined, precision-driven execution. We value iteration and adaptability—starting with the basics, testing ideas quickly and tangibly, and allowing for organic discovery before refining through more advanced and technical means. This encourages experimentation without fear of failure, pushing boundaries in a way that keeps the design process dynamic and responsive.
Envisioning the Practice We Always Wanted
Built Through Shared Curiosity
In 2018, Christian Robert, Ben Anderson, Shawn Gehle, and Lindsay Green founded OFFICEUNTITLED. Together, they envisioned a fearless, innovative, and future-focused design practice.
Since then, OU has grown from a small team into a diverse international practice. Architects, designers, and strategists now collaborate across Los Angeles, New York, and other locations.
However, the practice retains the curiosity and flexibility that shaped its beginning. We pair ambitious design thinking with deep professional experience. Our teams deliver solutions that feel both thoughtful and unexpected. Each project responds to its specific context, community, and goals.
Expertise Across Disciplines
Our leadership brings extensive knowledge to every collaboration. In addition, the wider team contributes distinct perspectives, skills, and experiences.
The practice works across architecture, interiors, master planning, and strategic consulting. Therefore, we can address projects from several complementary viewpoints.
Our leaders also remain committed to supporting the team’s continued growth. Ultimately, this shared expertise drives OFFICEUNTITLED into the future.
We Look for Partners Aligned in Pursuit of a Shared Vision
We see our clients and consultants as partners, aligned in pursuit of a shared vision. With a strong background in leading projects for some of the most influential organizations across industries, we seek collaborators ready to push boundaries and explore new possibilities. We are dedicated to deeply understanding our clients’ businesses, staying ahead of industry trends, and proactively addressing challenges, while simultaneously pushing beyond the status quo. We are committed to delivering a seamless, collaborative experience, redefining what it means to be a design firm.
