About Us
Atlantek Architects is a design-led architectural practice and RIBA Chartered Practice based in Cornwall, delivering thoughtful, user-focused architecture for bespoke homes, extensions, heritage buildings and carefully considered conservation projects.
Every project begins with a deep understanding of our clients’ needs, aspirations and the context of the site, because at the heart of great architecture is the experience of the people who use a space. As trusted architects in Cornwall we believe architecture is more than form and function; it is about creating places that improve quality of life through modern design, practical solutions and creative flair.
Our ethos is grounded in empathy, sustainable architecture and a commitment to enhancing the relationship between people, building and landscape. From early ideas through the planning process, technical design and construction, we guide clients with clarity and professionalism through every stage of a project.
Rooted in Cornwall, our work draws inspiration from the county’s coastline buildings, materials and local environment. We strive to create sustainable, contemporary architecture that responds sensitively to place while helping clients achieve anything from a dream house to ambitious development opportunities. With first hand knowledge of the county, we combine creative vision, technical expertise and the latest technology to deliver outcomes that reflect client expectations and the character of each site.

FAQ’s
We worked closely with Rob to design a house that would fit into the street scene whilst still also meeting all of our needs. Rob was very responsive and professional throughout and provided excellent advice at all stages of the design process, where we were very pleased with the end result. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rob to friends and family.
