TRACING
OUR
IMPACT

Each year, we take the first few months to reflect on the past year. Since joining kyu four years ago, we have traced the impact we leave in the world through our design work and our community practices.

50%

of our projects were in the learning and education domain

13

projects we’ve completed directly serve sustainability agendas

8

institutions transformed through architectural interventions
Design for the
good of our planet &
societies 
Design and
strategy for the
good of people

Putting sustainability at the core of our approach, we do our best to address the most challenging issues of our times across our body of work; specifically in learning & education, spaces & architecture, and community design.

Recognitions & awards

Recognitions & awards

In 2022, our collaborations with the Dubai Future Foundation and Sezin School, in an effort to create lasting impact, have been recognized by the iF Design Awards in the categories of architectural design and service design in education.

A community for
practitioners who are
passionate about
impact-driven work.

Being an ATÖLYE member is the best safety blanket to fall back on. The access to kind, talented people who truly go out of their way to help you, push you to grow is something I will never take for granted.

Working at ATÖLYE helped me connect with like-minded individuals and build sustainable personal and professional relationships. The hub is a great place to work and breaks the norm of dull and boring communal workspaces.

Meeting great people from different backgrounds opened my mind and brought new perspectives on my work. The Dubai space is amazing! I love coming from there especially when I am looking for inspiration. A supportive community, infinite possibilities and unleashed creativity. It makes me feel grateful to be a member of ATÖLYE!

Becoming an ATÖLYE member provided me with the resources and inspiration to turn my passion project into a proper business in late 2017 - including much of the legal, strategic, and financial guidance necessary to make the leap.

"Being a member of ATÖLYE has given me access to resources and equipment that I may not have had access to otherwise, which has been valuable in growing and developing both personally and professionally. ATÖLYE means a lot to me, it's a hub for meeting like minded and creative individuals on different journeys of their lives and careers which can be inspiring and motivating."

Our impact isn't just about our work;
through many JEDI initiatives, we
focus on the impact we leave on our
societies and our planet.

With this page, we are making our “Impact Compass” publicly available for the first time. This is a framework we have been putting into practice for our own consultancy work for the past two years to assess the impact and the potential of our work in strategy and design. By sharing this publicly, we hope that design consultancies can find encouragement in starting to address the impact of their design work.
