An architecture studio working in an old brick warehouse in Karaköy. From houses to cultural buildings, interiors to the city; we bring Scandinavian simplicity to Türkiye’s climate.
ATLAS Architects was founded in Istanbul in 1999, in a two-desk office. Today, with twenty-five years of experience and more than 180 projects, we design buildings across Türkiye.
Our path ran through Scandinavia: part of our team worked in offices in Copenhagen and Oslo. What we brought back is not a style but a habit: looking at light, climate and material before every decision.
On every project we spend a day on site with our client, follow the path of the sun and build the first model from these observations.
A building’s environmental impact is decided at the drawing table before a single lamp is switched on: its orientation, form, materials and how long it will be used. That is why we run energy and daylight calculations in the first week of a project.
