Atelier ordinaire

Atelier ordinaire is a workshop of design and architecture created by Thomas Walter in 2014. Thomas Walter develops architectural work, ranging from the scale of the furniture, from the individual house to the public commission. Atelier ordinaire’s vision is to construct homes as places where, without opposition to the outside world, it is still possible to experience a childlike carelessness, to indulge in rest, play or work in an atmosphere of security and benevolence.

The formal and aesthetic dimension is essential for the house to be suitable for the one for whom it is intended. The houses of atelier ordinaire are anchored in the intimacy with the material wood, explaining it as its preferred construction material. Wood as a material that is simple and economic, allows speedy construction and implementation, yet also aesthetic purity. It further allows atelier ordinaire the development of a rather fine dialectic between aesthetics and technique.
