AtelierWest is an
architectural, design, and
project management practice
based in South West London.

We like clean, considered, cohesive design that combines beauty and practicality, and strive to meet these ambitions in our work.

We take inspiration from our surroundings, and find uniqueness in site, situation, and circumstance. We are not restricted to or by scale, and like the challenge of crossing design disciplines.

We listen to our client's needs and aspirations, and take pride in forging dynamic working relationships to reach full understanding, interpretation and development of each brief, design process and project progress.

Our responses range from the bold to the subtle, complex to simplistic, high-end to economic, depending on context and set-up.

Our experience and portfolio ranges from private and residential to public and infrastructural; from concept to construction; planning to detailing.

We aim to and take pleasure in creating coherent and lasting designs.
