Our collective creative perspective includes global studies of cultural, artistic, and architectural treasures. We are unceasingly observing and learning universal aesthetic qualities and we bring this knowledge and passion for visual grandeur to every project. Where We Are
With our office in Culver City, we have positioned ourselves in the center of an ever-evolving and endlessly-energizing crea
tive hub. Swarming with the best and the brightest of countless industries, there is a constant opportunity to inspire and be inspired. Where We Started
ATA was founded by Trevor Abramson and Douglas Teiger, each having over 28 years of experience running an architectural practice. They merged their firms in 2000 to form Abramson Teiger Architects. What We’ve Accomplished
We have designed work environments, retail, commercial, multi-family, places of worship, school and residential projects. With over 200 built projects across North America, ATA’s passion for excellence has been recognized with over thirty design awards. These include national, state and local American Institute of Architects (AIA) design awards, among others. ATA’s work has been published extensively in international, national and local journals such as Architectural Record, Architectural Review, Architectural Digest, Interior Design, Form Magazine and Los Angeles Architect. ATA’s body of work has gained acclaim from industry peers, has attracted extensive print media attention here and abroad and stands proudly in the community. How We Work
Our designs are inspired by an earnest desire to elevate the human soul, to facilitate connection, and to improve the lives of the people they serve. Our goal is to find the perfect balance in every physical space by merging boldly calculated yet deliberately spontaneous thinking to create experiential harmony. We’ve preserved constant design themes that reflect our Southern California roots while remaining inventive and progressive. Clean lines and striking forms are infused with layers of light and texture to maintain natural dimension and endless possibility. Through weaving the subtle and the sensational, we create spaces that are as unforgettable as they are functional. We encourage an open dialogue with our clients and staff to nurture and develop ideas. Our firm provides a creative and supportive environment that allows design freedom to flourish. We listen, conceptualize, and execute with sensitivity and attention to each client’s completely unique ideas and concerns. We want the product and the process of every architectural endeavor to be an enriching experience for all. With countless prestigious awards and hundreds of articles in the media, we still consider the needs of each client to be the core of our practice. We believe this authentic approach is why clients return to us, time and again. No matter how big we grow, we will remain a purpose-driven firm that never loses sight of the most crucial voice - the client’s.
