ATMO Architecture
Anne Baker

ATMO is the Greek root of atmosphere – a word that evokes the distinctive yet intangible quality we all experience in spaces that stimulate our senses, our reverence for beauty, and our connection to nature. My focus in architecture is centered in atmosphere. This means rather than immediately discussing doors, walls, and windows, I begin the design process by really understanding you, and identifying the atmospheres and spatial flow that will best support you as an individual, a family, or a business. This understanding informs each and every design detail of your project and translates to a finished space that aligns with your brand, culture, and desired customer experience (for commercial projects), or lifestyle and family dynamic (for residential projects).
