Studio

An independent practice, close to every project.

AK Architects is an architecture and design studio established in 2020, led by its founder on each project.

The Studio

Small studio, close attention.

Established in 2020, AK Architects is an independent architecture and design studio working across homes, commercial buildings, interiors, authority submissions and construction support.

Projects are taken on at a scale the studio can attend to properly, with the founder involved in each one from first conversation to finished building.

Direction

No house style.

Before design begins, the studio looks at how the site behaves, how the spaces will be used, and what the budget and approvals allow. The design is tested against those realities rather than a picture.

The same drawing discipline carries from first sketch to site, so what is built follows what was drawn.

The Founder

Azeem Khan

Founder, AK Architects

Before establishing AK Architects in 2020, Azeem Khan gained professional experience with seven architectural firms and previously worked as a Principal Architect.

He leads each project personally — from the first conversation about a site through design, documentation and construction.

How We Work

Four things the studio holds to

  1. 01

    Understanding the brief

    Every project begins with the site, the requirement and the constraints, discussed plainly before any drawing is made.

  2. 02

    Considered design

    Decisions are tested against light, proportion, circulation and material rather than style alone.

  3. 03

    Professional planning

    Drawings, documentation and submission material are prepared and coordinated with care at each stage.

  4. 04

    Attention to detail

    The studio stays involved through construction so the built result stays faithful to the drawings.
