Who We Are
Atelier AṅK is an architectural practice in South London formed by two friends who met in the university sixteen years ago.
We work throughout London and South-East and specialise in small to medium scale domestic and residential projects, from rear extensions, loft conversions and outbuildings to whole house renovations and new-builds, creating atmospheric and harmonious living spaces. We also work with masterplanning and commercial projects. We believe that establishing a close dialogue between people and nature leads to creating harmonious places which support conscious co-existing. We create elegant solutions which arise from a combination of carefully selected materials, sustainable decisions and creative building techniques based on communication and clients’ vision.
Meet the Team
Ally Kaziunaite – Director
Architect

Ally Kaziunaite is a RIBA Chartered Architect and art historian with over 9 years of experience in small and large-scale residential and mixed-use architecture. She has extensive experience working with large-scale residential projects which required a mixed approach of architecture and urban design. Therefore, she has developed an informed and knowledgeable understanding of the ways of modern living and community.
Previously Ally has worked in several architectural practices. For a few years she has worked in Pozzoni Architecture, an award-winning practice alongside the director, creating a new living environment for communities and regenerating brownfield sites.
Ally has gained extensive experience in small-scale residential projects working with Omniform and Schema Studio. She gained her experience working with house renovations, creating new office spaces, extensions, loft conversions, and outbuildings. Ally was involved in all parts of the projects from the beginning to completion, which gave her the opportunity to combine the needs and wishes of the clients with the most practical, innovative, and environmentally friendly design.
In her spare time, Ally enjoys singing in a choir, walking in nature, creating raw vegan deserts, and practicing meditation and Carlos Castaneda’s Tensegrity passes.
