ines@ateliernine.exampleAbout the studio
Nine people who draw it and build it.
Atelier Nine started in 2014 in a shared workshop on Rope Walk. We still work from the same yard, with a bigger table and the same rule: whoever draws it stays until it is built.
01Our story
Design and build used to be two companies. We made it one.
Ines Moreau founded the studio after watching too many good drawings get lost between the architect, the brand agency and the builder. Each did their part well, and the client paid for the gaps.
So we hired makers and designers into one team. Today we design identities, interiors and websites, and we run the build, the print or the launch ourselves. One contract, one point of contact.
02What we believe
Four rules we work by.
Daylight first
We plan every room around where the light falls, then fit the furniture to it.
Test at full size
Samples, mock-ups and prints on the table before anyone orders a thing.
Every cost in writing
You see the price of every line before you sign, and we keep to it.
Made to last
Good materials, honest details and a visit six months after handover.
03The team
Who you will meet.
The leads of each discipline. Behind them are five more designers and makers in the studio and on site.
Adaeze Okafor
Head of interiors
Adaeze runs our interiors team and every site from strip out to handover. She has a soft spot for lime plaster and good door handles.
