OfficeUntitled

What OfficeUntitled does

OfficeUntitled is a privately held architecture and design firm founded in 2013 by four principals, Shawn Gehle, Benjamin Anderson, Lindsay Green, and Christian Robert, who previously worked together at Gensler. Originally established as R&A Architecture + Design, the firm rebranded to OFFICEUNTITLED in 2019 and is headquartered in Culver City, California, with a second office in New York. The firm operates as a single unified practice across four service lines: architecture, interiors, spectaculars, and design strategy, with proprietary offerings such as OUx Research and Design Strategy. Its project portfolio spans a wide typology range including single-family residential (e.g., Moreno Residence), multi-family and condominium developments (The Harland, Orange Drive, 488 San Vicente), hospitality (Woodlark Hotel, Bay Point Landing glamping resort), commercial and corporate innovation workspaces (BCG Digital Ventures across NYC, Manhattan Beach, and London), cultural institutions (Cayton Children's Museum), retail (ASHE Society cannabis boutique), and master-planned communities (Summit Powder Mountain, Utah), with project locations spanning California, New York, Oregon, Utah, and the United Kingdom.

The firm delivers full-service architectural design from concept through entitlements and construction administration under project-based fee structures, with pricing determined per engagement based on scope, typology, and complexity rather than standardized rates. Its clients are predominantly enterprise-scale, including institutional developers such as AvalonBay Communities, Faring Capital, MCAP Partners, The Nerman Group, hospitality operators such as Provenance Hotels, and corporate users such as BCG Digital Ventures, supplemented by private residential clients. The firm has no disclosed external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, public listing, or revenue disclosure; ownership and operating control remain with the four founding principals.

OfficeUntitled acquires projects through a sales-led, reputation-based go-to-market anchored by an active awards strategy (Architizer, AIA, TIME, Sunset Magazine, Architect Magazine), direct enterprise engagement, and a project portfolio website supported by Instagram and LinkedIn presence. As a boutique studio of under 50 employees, it competes on design quality and typology breadth rather than scale, with documented awards including TIME World's Greatest Places 2019 (Woodlark), AIA Residential Architecture Awards 2021 and LABC Award for Housing (The Harland), and Architizer 2020 '10 Small Architecture Firms to Watch'.
