Patalab Architects: Sensitive and Powerful Designs
At Patalab we enjoy transforming existing buildings for new uses as well as delivering innovative and site-specific new build projects. By juxtaposing traditional architectural styles with modern interventions we produce sensitive but powerful designs that compliment their context. Striking exteriors and beautifully proportioned interiors are accentuated by rich materiality, attention to detail and exceptional craftsmanship, attributes Patalab is known for.
Inspired by ‘Pataphysics - a philosophical and artistic movement dedicated to exploring the imaginary - the practice is interested in the poetic potential of architecture. The bold, and sometimes experimental use of materials, exemplifies this in Patalab’s pursuit of an architecture that is a joy to inhabit.
Patalab Architects is a Chartered Practice of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Patalab is also registrated member of ARB, Architektenkammer Berlin and British Chamber of Commerce in Germany.
