Studio A’17 is a full service boutique design studio. We provide tailored services and personalized support to your project, so that you can rest assured as we build spaces that compliment your unique style and purpose.
We don’t operate with a set style. Every project informs its own design approach, and inspires its own aesthetic language.
We design experiences by using a human-centered design approach
We know that it is not the design in itself that matters, it is the experience of interacting and engaging with it. So, our studio process is dictated by questions like –
How does it make you feel?
Does it somehow improve or enrich your life?
Does it anticipate and adapt to your needs that may change over time?
One cannot control experiences, but by ensuring design functionality we can increase the likelihood of better experiences!
We lead our studio process with a combination of child-like curiosity, and a strong backing of research.
Design thinking is a fundamental practice to our studio. It all starts with undergoing in-depth discussions to understand our client’s needs, desires and vision for their space. For every project, we employ a methodical process of ideation, experimentation and progressive iteration, to come up with the most optimal solutions. We work in a collaborative style, conscientiously building upon constructive input in all stages of development.
Good ideas thrive in nurturing environments
We consider our clients and collaborators to be an integral part of our team, as we build together something bigger than ourselves.
​
Our studio culture is open, experimental and fun. We believe good ideas are born from informal exchanges, hands-on learning, and collaborative teamwork. It matters when everybody involved gets a chance to grow. And, we love to vibe off of each other!

In every single action of ours, we strive to balance our responsibilities towards our client, our profession and our society.
