Short description: British structural engineering company

Atelier One is a British structural engineering company, established in 1989 and based in London.[1][non-primary source needed] The company has collaborated with architects, designers and artists (including Paul Cocksedge,[2] Anish Kapoor[3] and Rachel Whiteread[4]), and has been described as "the most innovative engineering practice in the UK."[3]

Past projects include a large number of large international projects including the shell structures of the Singapore Arts Centre,[5] the development of Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia,[6] and in the UK the Baltic Gallery in Gateshead[7] and three buildings for White Cube in London.[8]

In addition to both public and private buildings, Atelier One is also involved in a variety of art installation projects, touring exhibitions and stages. Some of the most notable completed projects are Kapoor's Cloud Gate in Chicago[3] and stage sets for U2,[9] The Rolling Stones[10] and Take That.

Gardens by the Bay, a collaboration between Atelier One, Atelier Ten, Grant Associates and WilkinsonEyre, in Singapore was awarded the World Building of the Year prize at the World Architecture Festival in 2012.[11]

In 2022 the gymnasium at the Green School in Bali, a project by Atelier One, was awarded the Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence from the Institution of Structural Engineers.[12]
