Approach

Established in 2018, AT-LARS is a progressive and contemporary practice that focuses on design and architecture. Most of our works are found in the world of landmarks, art and culture, commercial and temporary uses in various scales.

We strive towards positive impact, environmentally and socially. For us, architecture is not about form or style but rather about its emotional connection with the users and environment; and its adaptability to the local contexts, social life and users.

Our design is mindful. We design architecture with a high degree of sensibility towards places and setting, a deep understanding of the local context and an outlook for future opportunities.

We generate memorable spaces as a platform for story-telling, dialogues and exchanges. We develop unique ideas and create memorable moments.

Motivated by serving our clients with long-term functionality and quick adaptability, in 2020 we have beta-launched our architectural product using scaffolding, a modular and temporary construction system, that can be used for multiple purposes, ranging from healthcare to commercial purposes.
