Design & Build
Architecture and construction — delivered as one coordinated process.
Design & Build at Atelier Khan brings together architectural design, planning and construction within a single, structured approach. This allows projects to move forward with clarity, continuity and accountability from concept through to completion.
For clients, this means fewer handovers, clearer responsibility and design decisions that are informed by how buildings are actually constructed.
Why Choose a Design & Build Approach?
Traditional project routes often separate design and construction, which can lead to misalignment, cost uncertainty and delays.

Design decisions are continually reviewed against buildability, cost and programme.
Construction is delivered by a dedicated team working closely with the design studio.
We focus on:
Careful site management and sequencing
