About Us
Establish in 2024, Atelier AY is an architecture and design studio based in London UK
​
Our design approach is rooted in a deep understanding of people, places, and functions. We believe that meaningful architecture draws inspiration from its users-clients, occupants, and the surrounding community as well as from the unique context of its environment and the functions it is meant to serve.
​
Through thoughtful analysis and continuous refinement, we develop design solutions that are specific to enhance and reflect these three key elements. These solutions may manifest in the choice of materials, spatial arrangements, form, structural systems, building services, sustainability strategies, and overall project viability.
Attention to details and quality in construction are essential to translating these solutions into reality. The integration of all components- people, places, functions, solutions and details - is what ultimately defines a cohesive, successful, and enduring design and feedback to the communities.
