Atelier036 is full service, hands-on award-winning New York City-based architecture and interior design studio. Our approach to every project is specific to the client, site, space, and budget. We believe that in order to achieve a well-designed, thoughtful project, an architect should be involved in all aspects of design, starting with project objectives, planning and space layout, selection of finish materials, built-in cabinets, custom furniture, and lighting design. We begin with a "clean-slate” that leads to intense study, a process of discovery, and a creative approach to space, design, and details. From start to finish, we believe that good design is only half of the process. Selecting the right contractor and having the architect’s presence on-site during construction (normally once a week) is a key part of a successful project. In addition, we provide immediate follow-up with our clients both during and post-construction, providing a comprehensive service that leads to a successful outcome and an excellent relationship with our clients. Niv Ben-Adi, Founder & Principal With more than 20 years of experience, Niv has a deep understanding of all aspects of architectural and urban design.
