“archi-typing “
YOUR WAY TO YOUR
DREAM DESIGN
In an effort to fully understand what excites you in terms of architecture and design, L.Ateliér has
devised a series of assessments that is able to identify what architectural styles and concepts will
appeal to you. In tagalog:
“Gusto naming hulihin ang kilti niniyo”.

This is called Archi-Typing.

what is
archi-typing?
ARCHI-typing (Patent Pending) is a revolutionary solution that bridges the gap between you and your architect
while expediting the “getting to know you” stage.
 how is
archi-typing
different?
Getting to know each other often takes hours if not years of collaboration. It’s often a two way street involving
hours and hours of conversations.

ARCHI-typing is straight to the point; it enables us to skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point
wherein the point is: We want to know what your LOVE.

By doing this, we are able to immediately know the direction in terms of concept you want to go without you
having a hard time explaining it in words.
how does
the process
look like?
It is a 46- page assessment with a series of photos containing various architectural styles. All you need to do
is rate the photos from a scale of negative (-) three to positive (+) three depending on how inclined you are to
that specific style.

A negative answer will be required for styles that you dislike while a positive answer will be required for
styles that you like.

This assessment will be sent to you via e-mail. Test answers will be sent back to us for assessment.

means indifference;
You neither love or hate it.
why
archi-typing?
The process towards building your dream home or any other project is filled with a lot of technical jargon
which makes it difficult to understand and verbalize. There is often times a disconnect between you and the
architect because you are unable to fully express what you like in words.

Through ARCHI-Typing, our goal is to “Know what you love” to stay true to our mottos:
