Tharik Akbar leads ATR Architects, working across architecture and interior design for homes and commercial spaces.
About the architect
His approach begins with understanding how people inhabit a place—where they gather, how they move, what they need from it and how those needs may change. These observations inform the design, from the organisation of the building to the details of its interiors.
Site, climate and the client’s priorities guide each project, bringing practical needs and architectural expression into the same conversation.
The Practice
Every space begins with a question.
Architecture, interiors and visualization—developed together, around people and place.
Our approach
Each project begins with its own conditions: a particular site, a purpose, a budget and a set of aspirations. We work with these conditions to develop a clear direction, considering planning, light, materials and construction together.
Our work connects architecture, interiors and visualization. This allows the larger spatial idea and the smaller details to develop as parts of one coherent design.
Services
Architecture
Buildings shaped by place and everyday life.

We consider orientation, access, privacy, daylight and ventilation alongside the arrangement of spaces. From early studies to architectural drawings and details, the design develops around the possibilities of the site and the requirements of the brief.
