Atmospheric Perspective is a dynamic architecture studio, specializing in spaces of experience. We offer end to end architectural design services as well as place making, interior and industrial design services. Based in Vancouver, Canada AP explores the intersection of aspirations and experiences in the design of public and community focused infrastructure.
Spaces of Experience
Atmospheric Perspective designs for culture, hospitality, healthcare and education; what we consider to be spaces of experience. Within these places, a strong relationship exists between the physical qualities of space and their human experiences; here, architecture can act as the tipping point towards positive experiences leading to a more inclusive, accessible and sustainable future.
With You, Not For You!
Utilizing a process of co-creation, Atmospheric Perspective works with you not for you, to develop a unique identity for each project. Paired with an integrated approach to technical design, Atmospheric Perspective works as a team leader to balance design aspirations with pro-forma, constructability and market conditions.
