About

Studio Aachi was founded to help socially focused organisations align their workplaces with their mission and values.

We support clients during key transitions - whether they are developing long-term spatial strategies, adopting new ways of working, relocating, or reconfiguring the office. We support NGOs, progressive institutions, charities, trusts, and community groups to understand the potential of their workplaces to enable confident and practical decision making.

Our approach is collaborative, light-touch where possible, sustainable, and rooted in care and clarity. We believe space should reflect and support an organisation’s purpose - not get in the way of it.

Aditya Aachi

BSc, AADipl, PGDip, ARB

Having shaped workplace strategies and designs for a variety of organisations, I founded Studio Aachi to focus on working with mission-led organisations. I aim to bridge strategic consultancy and design by bringing complex problem solving, inclusive engagement, and practical delivery to every project.

I am an ARB registered architect with over a decade of experience in the workplace sector. Alongside practice, I’ve taught as an undergraduate studio lead at Oxford Brookes University and continue to lecture and act as a visiting critic at the Architectural Association and other institutions.

While working on several projects with socially focussed organisations, I realised I was best placed to affect change by enabling others. This is the driving force behind the Studio.
