In Navajo Indian language, A-Tah means involving. We focus on the pattern that mass production, technology renovation and global trend are reflecting to design, and also on the interaction between architectural design and other fields; We believe that contextual research is as a tool that can inspire to design solutions, and also believe that by discovering 'problems', design can be more involved with everyday's life; We are interested in express design ideas from the essence, thus to express our attitudes via design.

ATAH believes that Zeitgeist is the Muse for designers

Contemporary architects should create new experience for space through more simultaneous and interactive manners, and architecture completion and use condition are still the only standard to measure the design quality. Hence, we focus on the whole process of planning, designing, construction, and use feedback to keep progressing. We believe that architectural process is not deliberate pursuit of luxury and superior difficulty, but the selection on the most appropriate material and architectural techniques to reflect client aspirations, explore space potentials, and present design intent.
