Business Details
Based in Cornwall, Atlantek Architects is a practice devoted to producing thoughtful, site-responsive architecture. Established by Rob Simmonds and Simon Boulton, we combine over twenty-five years of experience in architectural design and project management across Cornwall and the South West. Our philosophy blends innovation with sensitivity, whether addressing a clifftop retreat, a rural farmstead, or a listed property. Led by ARB-registered architect Rob, our practice assures the highest professional standards while maintaining a hands-on, client-focused approach. Our intentionally compact studio structure enables us to provide a bespoke service, adapting each scheme to its surroundings and to our clients aspirations. We specialise in new homes, renovations, extensions, and conversions, often within areas of exceptional environmental or heritage significance.
We believe architecture should be both contextual and sustainable, guided by collaboration and creativity. Our design ethos reflects Cornwalls natural character, embracing sustainable materials and energy-efficient construction. As lifelong residents of Cornwall, we bring invaluable local insight into planning, regulation, and the regional construction network. We support our clients through every project phase, from early concepts and planning applications to technical detailing and on-site supervision. Using advanced Building Information Modelling technology through Autodesk Revit, we visualise and coordinate every aspect of the design process, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and exceptional results.

Report
We worked closely with Rob to design a house that would fit into the street scene whilst still also meeting all of our needs. Rob was very responsive and professional throughout and provided excellent advice at all stages of the design process, where we were very pleased with the end result. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Rob to friends and family.

Although ours has been a difficult build, with Robs direction our new home is all we could possibly wish for. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone who is looking for an architect who is both professional and personable. A big thank you Rob, keep up the good work
