About us.
Combining decades of expertise and a joint passion for residential architecture and interior design, along with our curated network of creators and suppliers, we create thoughtful, enduring spaces grounded in craftsmanship and purpose.
We are Brad and Erin Donelley. We are Aatos Design.
Ideology.
Our design language speaks of pragmatism, consideration, and authenticity.
We believe that high quality built environments directly elevate the lives of their inhabitants. We pride ourselves on delivering projects with equal measures of creativity and technical execution.
While our creative approach remains consistent and purposeful across all projects, our flexible and tailored response to each client allows us to provide complete outcomes that are wildly unique.
Vision.
Our vision is one where every project we curate can combine to provide an outcome far greater than the sum of its parts, an outcome that not only meets the functional brief, but does so in a way that can help give more back to our world than it has drawn.
Put simply, we are passionate about creating purposeful spaces that function seamlessly and look beautiful.
Team.
