Office of: Office was born out of a restructuring of the nonprofit LA Más, along with a mission-shift for the two organisations. It was formally founded in 2021 by four partners Alejandra Guerrero, Chaz Kern, Hector Rodriguez, and Elizabeth Timme. As a result, Office of: spans both for profit and non profit urban planning and architecture work. While working nationally, the studio has a distinct focus on supporting the Los Angeles region ‘with public realm improvement projects, storefront remodels, and affordable housing projects,’ as its team of six brings together expertise in planning, policy, advocacy, architecture, and design.
