Meet the Founder
Luka is an architecture student studying in the UK. He appreciates architecture and its various forms from across the world, yet has a true desire to implement biophilic design and its values into his projects. Furthermore, he has an admiration for classical / neo-classical styles, yet is eager to satisfy the needs of his client, no matter the style.
Working against strict briefs and tight deadlines, Luka has brought many of his architectural visions into life through his rendering experience, enabling his effective design communication with clients and architectural designers alike. He has completed live design projects such as through working in architectural firms and winning the 'Tata Steel 125th Anniversary Design Competition,' granting him industry experience at a young age.
Luka is currently completing a remote international internship and completes visits abroad for his work.

What is ATARAXI?
Luka created ATARAXI as a way of communicating his work in an online portfolio, with an alias which represented his core values in which he displays through his architecture.
The term 'ATARAXI' stems from the study of ancient Greek philosophy of Epicureanism. The thought that achieving a good life is found through the absence of pain and distress is defined as 'ataraxy' / 'ataraxia.' These are key principles for Luka's way of life and he aspires to portray them through his work.
Luka adopted ATARAXI with an 'I,' due to the personal value that the ideology has for him, as it encapsulates a profound commitment to tranquillity and balance that resonates with his dedication to architecture.
