NOTES
Observations on commissioning, collaboration, and project development.PRACTICE
-
Untitled Office brings together dual training in fine art and architecture with extensive experience across galleries, museums, art fairs, and collection environments internationally. This background enables the practice to work fluently between curatorial intent, spatial composition, technical coordination, and the practical realities of exhibiting and living with art.
Rather than treating architecture as a neutral or decorative backdrop, the practice approaches space as an active participant in how artworks are encountered, understood, and valued. This allows Untitled Office to develop environments that support not only the presentation of art, but also the broader cultural and spatial positioning of collections, exhibitions, and institutions.
-
Untitled Office designs galleries, exhibitions, museums, art fair environments, and collection-based residential spaces across commercial, institutional, and private contexts.
The practice works across both temporary and permanent projects, from art fair booths and exhibition design to gallery architecture, museum interiors, and residential collection environments. We also design bespoke display systems and exhibition elements where the spatial conditions of presentation are central to how work is experienced.

The level of involvement varies depending on the nature of the project and the requirements of the client.
Untitled Office can work across all phases of a project, from early spatial strategy and concept development through to detailed design, documentation, consultant coordination, fabrication oversight, and on-site installation direction. Some commissions involve complete project delivery from concept to completion, while others focus on specific design phases or strategic spatial consultation.
The practice operates as a focused international studio that expands and contracts according to the scale and requirements of each project, collaborating with local architects, technical consultants, fabricators, lighting designers, project managers, and institutional stakeholders as required.
-
Art fairs operate within highly compressed spatial, logistical, and commercial conditions, requiring environments that communicate clearly and quickly while maintaining architectural and cultural restraint.
Untitled Office approaches fair design through careful attention to visibility, circulation, pacing, artwork relationships, and collector movement across the booth. The aim is not spectacle, but spatial clarity and distinction, creating booths that strengthen the identity of the gallery and support sustained engagement with the work itself.
The practice brings extensive experience across international fair contexts, including projects with Art Basel and TEFAF, and understands the practical realities of fair timelines, fabrication, installation, and coordination across international teams.
-
Museum and institutional projects require close coordination between curatorial ambition, visitor experience, operational requirements, and technical constraints.
Untitled Office develops exhibitions and gallery environments through careful consideration of narrative structure, pacing, orientation, circulation, conservation requirements, accessibility, and the spatial experience of the audience. The practice works collaboratively across the wider institutional ecosystem, including curatorial, operational, technical, and fabrication teams, to ensure architectural decisions support both the interpretation of the work and the broader institutional context in which it is presented.
-
Untitled Office approaches residential collection environments through the understanding that art and architecture should be considered together from the outset of a project, rather than treated as separate layers.
These projects require careful balance between living, collecting, presentation, conservation, and long-term flexibility as collections evolve over time. We work closely with collectors and project teams to create environments in which architecture, collection, and daily life remain in ongoing dialogue, while supporting both the experience of living with art and the practical requirements surrounding it.
PROCESS
-
Most projects begin with an introductory conversation to discuss context, scope, and intent. From there, we outline an approach tailored to the specific requirements of the project and the people involved. Visit our contact page to begin a conversation.
-
Timelines vary depending on project type and complexity. Art fair booths typically run 8–12 weeks from brief to installation, exhibitions approximately 3–6 months, and larger architectural projects 6–12 months or longer.
The practice is experienced in working within the compressed timelines often associated with art-world projects while maintaining careful attention to design quality, coordination, and execution.
If you have a specific deadline or aren't sure whether your timeline is feasible, we recommend starting a conversation to explore what's possible.
-
Yes. Untitled Office works internationally across different cultural, institutional, and regulatory contexts.
The practice is structured to work both remotely and on site depending on project requirements, with experience coordinating international consultants, fabricators, installation teams, and project stakeholders across multiple time zones.
-
Yes. We work both remotely and on-site depending on project needs and client preference.
For art fair and exhibition builds, we like to be on site to oversee installation, direct lighting, and coordinate with art handlers on artwork placement. All projects include detailed documentation to ensure accurate execution whether we're present or working remotely.
For larger architectural and interior projects, we arrange site visits during key phases of the design and construction process, maintaining close collaboration with project teams through regular reviews to ensure design integrity.
ENGAGEMENT
-
Each project is developed through close collaboration with clients and project partners. The practice places strong emphasis on clarity, dialogue, and shared understanding from early concept development through to installation and completion. With experience across both art-world and construction contexts, Untitled Office works fluidly between conceptual, spatial, technical, and operational requirements to ensure projects remain coherent at every scale of development.
-
Fees are structured according to the scope, scale, and complexity of each project. This is discussed transparently at the outset, once project requirements are clearly defined.
-
Yes. Untitled Office takes on a limited number of projects each year in order to maintain close involvement throughout the design process and careful attention to each project’s specific spatial, cultural, and technical requirements.
This allows the practice to work collaboratively and in depth with clients, with direct senior involvement maintained from early concept development through to delivery and installation.
-
Many projects involve varying degrees of confidentiality, particularly within private collection, residential, and commercially sensitive contexts.
Untitled Office approaches confidentiality collaboratively and can structure project visibility, publication, photography, and public communications according to the specific requirements of each client and project. Publication and press opportunities can be discussed at the outset of a commission to ensure appropriate alignment between privacy, discretion, and broader cultural or commercial visibility where relevant.
