We are now accepting applications for September 2027 graduate roles!
We’re a medium sized studio based in Farringdon. Across our over 30-year history, our curiosity and passion for finding elegant solutions to complex problems has contributed to an array of widely recognised unique structures.
At Atelier One, our work usually sits at the intersection of architecture, art, and performance. One day that might mean figuring out the mechanics of a touring stage set; the next, it’s a low-carbon timber structure or a complex sculpture. We don't have a "standard" project, and we like it that way.
The Role: We’re looking for a Graduate Engineer with a university degree in structural engineering or architectural engineering.
What we do together:
• Design Focus: We work across all materials, including timber and bamboo, finding the most appropriate materials for each brief. For us, that means prioritising sustainability and carbon reduction as a core part of the engineering, not an afterthought.
• The Process: You’ll work with structural calculations, create design models and research as required. An interest in parametric design is encouraged but not essential.
• Office Life: We’re a tight-knit group. We value people who enjoy contributing to the day-to-day life of the studio.
About You: You have a strong technical grounding in structural engineering, you are eager to develop professionally as a structural engineer, you care about the climate, you enjoy a good design challenge, you are curious about the world around you and you like working collaboratively with others.
Apply: [email protected]
Closing date: 30th November, although applications will be reviewed as they are received.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Why Bamboo? A UK Bamboo Summit Spotlight event as part of @designregenerative 2026.
It was great to have an introduction to bamboo as part of the programme, and ahead of the UK Bamboo Summit on Friday 30 October, 10am -5pm.
The Bamboo in the UK Group marked to occasion by signing a new Memorandum of Understanding with the @uniwestminster by Catherine Dormer and @oritazaz on behalf of the Bamboo in the UK Group.
The lively room, speakers and panel was exactly what we like to create with our events.
Thank you to our Bamboo in the UK Bamboo Group:
Chris Matthews from @atelier.one as our host.
Ken Downing from @ukbamboosupplies
James Marr from @bamboobicycleclub
@oritazaz from #ImagineBamboo & Co-convenor of the UK Bamboo Summit
Neil Thomas MBE from @atelier.one
With guests:
Ananya Singhal from @studiosaar.design
Kate Cheyne from @uniwestminster

Bigger thanks to @designregenerative and @arch_today team for hosting.
Still time to join the sixth UK Bamboo Summit in 2026 in Birmingham with our partners: @bhambotanicalgardens @outdoorplacesunusualspaces and The Forward Institute Birmingham.

Have you got your ticket yet for the UK Bamboo Summit 2026?
Join us on Friday 30th October at the @bhambotanicalgardens for a full day of talks, collaborative workshops and conversations to discuss the latest developments and research surrounding bamboo in the UK.
We’re excited to announce that Neil Thomas and Chris Matthews of Atelier One will both be speakers at the summit, presenting their argument for why bamboo has the potential to become a mainstream, low carbon construction material in the UK.
Tickets are on sale now and available at: https://buytickets.at/brilliantbamboocic/2317032

Neil Thomas from @atelier.one with his marvellous tension and compression demonstration grin :) at a talk last night @thebuildingcentre for @arch_today Regenerative Design 2026 about his life’s work in structures, now focused towards bamboo with his new endeavour @the_node_company, also with me talking about our collaboration with Atelier One on the @firstlightpianos and Barney Steel from @marshmallowlaserfeast sharing their beautiful poetic work. The talk was preceded by a mini Bamboo Summit, organised by the wonderfully positive @oritazaz of @imagine_bamboo including a talk from @bamboobicycleclub and also starring Architecture Today Editor Isabel Allen who has put the brilliant @designregenerative month together- still on, go and see!! - and lovely to also see one of Neil’s longest-time collaborators Patrick Bellew from @atelier_ten . And my picture of a tree, what it was all about, really :)

Thanks to all those who joined us for at a packed Building Centre for Neil Thomas’ lecture “Tree stories (and some grass)” last night, with special guests @sarahpianolife of @firstlightpianos, @ralf.g.saade from Atelier One and @barnaby.steel from @marshmallowlaserfeast Laser Feast.

I decided it was time to share a photo of our new prototype piano and here it is in black and white! (Well, colour, actually!) Page 3 of The Times today . Thank you @thetimes and @adrian.sherratt for the fantastic photos! Follow the company news @firstlightpianos but it’s all meshed together with my music making here too - after all, an instrument doesn’t get invented in a vacuum but through asking questions both creative and of engineering. I’m extremely proud to collaborate with Prof Neil Thomas MBE @atelier.one and technicians like @dancarney. As I say in the article, I do believe it will take a village to raise this piano, by which I mean there are many brilliant experts and supporters who come together to make this possible. Drop me a line if you’d like to be more involved. Thanks and have a good Monday!

We’re honoured that The Green School Gymnasium, a concept by @ibukubali Architects, Atelier One and Jorg Stamm and built by PT Bamboo Pure made the cover of this month’s @arch_today!
This issue explores the Regenerative Architecture Index 2026, featuring 119 organisations that demonstrate a clear commitment to championing regenerative practice within their work.
Page 44 explains an example of why we were front runners for the “Living with Nature” category, showcasing the Tekαkαpimək Contact Station with @saundersarchitecture - a self-regulating building with a near net-zero carbon impact.
Page 48 highlights some of our work in biomimicry.
Page 50 features an interview with Founder Neil Thomas on the lessons that nature can teach us about design and the remarkable potential of bamboo as a widespread construction material in the UK.

With less than 2 days to go, don’t miss the chance to experience The Pangolin Shield on the Strand Aldwych. ✨
Created through a collaboration between @studiosaar.design and @atelier.one, this impressive bamboo pavilion, takes inspiration from the protective scales of the pangolin.
Combining a bamboo grid shell with traditional Indian police shields and woven rain knups, the installation explores colonial legacies, power and ecological exploitation.

Happy World Bamboo Day from Atelier One! 🎋
You can celebrate the extraordinary potential of bamboo as a low-carbon building material across three events this Autumn:
1. The Pangolin Shield Pavilion
Co-designed by @studiosaar.design and Atelier One for @l_d_f_official and supported by Secure, this bamboo grid shell pavilion on London's Strand is clad in layered cane police shields and Meghalaya rain shields (knups). The last day to catch it is Sunday 20th September! To find out more about the structural engineering of the Pavilion, see our new website page.
2. "Why Bamboo?" Spotlight Event
Join Atelier One, the @uniwestminster, and the Bamboo in the UK Group on Wednesday 21st October for an afternoon workshop exploring bamboo’s potential in mainstream UK construction as part of @arch_today ’s Regenerative Design residency at the Building Centre.
3. UK Bamboo Summit 2026
We are proud co-organisers of the sixth @ukbamboosummit on Friday 30th October 2026 at the @bhambotanicalgardens.
We will be tackling the topic of why bamboo should become a mainstream low carbon material in the UK and how to make this happen. See the @brilliantbamboouk website for more details.

🎋 Have you seen The Pangolin Shield?
Located on Strand Aldwych for @L_D_F_official, it is a collaboration between @studiosaar.design and @atelier.one, supported by @lifeatsecure.
A bamboo frame, clad in traditional police shields and rain shields from India, invites visitors to explore questions of protection and oppression, materiality and craft – finding inspiration from the Pangolin, the world’s most trafficked mammal.
There are just a few days left to see the Pangolin Shield - head to the link in our bio to find out more.
