About | Office LOG

Office LOG is an architecture office and design studio operating from Los Angeles California.

The studio was founded in 2021 by Luis Ortega Govela, AIA. We like history without nostalgia, we like fantasy without delusion but most importantly we love a project.

The studio works worldwide in a range of scales, from furniture designed and built in our workshop in Glendale, to Residential, Interiors and Commercial Projects developed in our Offices in MacArthur Park. We also write and produce films which further our architectural thinking and broaden the definition of what the studio thinks about and produces.

We work with private clients, public institutions, municipalities, artists, curators, galleries and brands.
