From their website: "We are an award-winning design agency, with over 30 years experience. We help clients develop their brands. We create all the visual elements which make up a brand."

In collaboration with Lambeth Council they developed the Effra River plaque project, and then, with Camden Council, the Fleet River plaque project.

From Tom Castle "After the success of the River Effra floor plaques being installed throughout the London borough of Lambeth; north of the River, Camden looked to do something similar for their hidden river - RIver Fleet. They got in touch with Atelier Works and asked us to tell the story of the Fleet in relation to various locations." Describing the plaques: "Cast in iron, the story is distorted to give the idea of it being submerged underwater."
