ATAMA is an architectural practice working on transformative projects with pressing social, cultural and ecological challenges.

Transformative actions +

For ATAMA, transformative projects are not simply repurposing, but projects that aim to break the status quo and bring about a change in the way ambitions are defined, spaces and places are realised and used.

As designers, we have an impact on the creative process and a responsibility for the spatial component of this task.

We work on transformations that are simultaneously autonomous and mediating in an often complex, urban context where change to the human environment can be supported in multiple ways.

Our designs are inspired by history and enable repurposing in the future. We clarify what is essential in a project and allow it to emerge. Each project aims to be a generous backdrop for life.
