Atelier Vora
Est. 2014 — Berlin

Buildings that
don't shout.

Atelier Vora is a small architecture practice in Berlin. We design houses, workspaces, and retreats for people who would rather be remembered for how their rooms feel than how their façades look.

I. Selected work

Three projects. Built between 2023 and 2025.

A studio of seven people. We take on four commissions a year. Below: the three we most enjoyed seeing inhabited.

  1. Haus am Wannsee

    01 2025 Berlin, DE

    Haus am Wannsee

    Single residence

    A timber-frame house oriented around a single beech tree the clients refused to fell.

  2. Atelier Linde

    02 2024 Leipzig, DE

    Atelier Linde

    Workspace conversion

    A 1930s tram depot turned into 14 lofts for makers — keeping every steel truss visible.

  3. Casa Bordo

    03 2023 Lake Como, IT

    Casa Bordo

    Vacation residence

    Three lime-washed volumes stepped down a hillside, framing the lake on every level.

II. Approach

Four phases. No surprises.

01 — Concept

Quiet listening.

We start with conversation, the site, and a sketchpad. No mood boards. No software.

02 — Design

Drawings on paper, then on screen.

We resolve plan, section, and material in physical drawings before any BIM tool sees them.

03 — Construction

On site every week.

A partner attends each weekly meeting. Sub-contractors are picked with us, not for us.

04 — Interior

Furniture and finishes, only if invited.

Most of our clients keep their own taste in interiors. We document well so theirs can land calmly.

III. Studio

Inside the work.

IV. Visit

Come by the studio.

Tuesdays and Thursdays we hold open hours. Tell us what you're thinking about — we'll show you the work in progress on the table.

V. Contact

Tell us about a place.

A plot, a building, a feeling. Whatever stage you're at, write us a few lines and we'll be in touch within two working days.
