We are a collaborative design and fabrication studio specializing in place-making, community engagement, and the creation of architectural works of art. Partners Ioana Barac and Marissa Dionne Mead founded the Atelier as a stage for connecting the art of design and the craft of making. Essential to our method is a process of experimentation, prototyping, and fabrication which ensures a sense of both high-design and hand-craft in our work.

Each of our installations is influenced by the unique community, site, and architectural background in which it will come to life. Similarly, the design team is a creative collaboration led by Atelier Cue between client, community, and Cue's network of fabricators curated specifically for each project.

The Cue: from curlicue, a prevalent graphic in the visual and decorative arts which can be both precise and unpredictable.
