About Us
Atelier AY is an architecture and design studio based in London, UK.
We approach every project with a thorough understanding of five key elements: people, places, functions, solutions, and details. We believe meaningful architecture draws inspiration from its people - clients, occupants, and the surrounding community - as well as from the unique context of its places and the functions it is intended to serve.
Through careful analysis and refinement, we develop design solutions that respond to people, places, and functions. These solutions can manifest as materials, spatial arrangements, massing, structure, building services, sustainability strategies, or overall project viability.
Attention to detail and quality in construction are essential for bringing these solutions to life. The integration of people, places, functions, solutions, and details is what defines a cohesive, enduring design that contributes positively to the community.
