Architectural Coffee Break

ATELIER CARACAS

Atelier Caracas is a design and architectural practice, looking within and outside of its home, Venezuela. It is based in Caracas and was founded in 2015 by architects Julio Kowalenko and Rodrigo Armas, who became friends while studying at the prestigious Universidad Central de Venezuela. Their studio involves a team of creatives and non-conformists that give life to projects that are as disparate as their interests, including but not limited to industrial design, public areas, private residencies, retail spaces, pop-ups, all over the world.

Operating as a think tank for formal, aesthetic, and cultural investigation, Atelier Caracas draws strong influences from its local context, pop culture, and the everyday, finding in all that surrounds an opportunity to extract their architectural being, recognizing the same patterns in small and large scales to create alluring spaces and objects at once humorous, thought-provoking, and symbolically charged.
