Designers. Thinkers. Storytellers.
Guney Kurdak
Guney founded Atelier Aida after more than 25 years working between architecture and visualisation. Trained as an architect in Istanbul and now based in London, he stays closely involved in every project - from the first conversation and camera studies to the final image. He is interested in the point where a drawing begins to feel like a real place: its proportions, light, materials and the small decisions that bring everything together. Outside the studio, he is usually running, playing tennis or checking the wind forecast for windsurf.
Deniz Kurdak
Deniz has shaped the visual language of Atelier Aida since 2015. A designer and practising artist, she works with light, colour, material and atmosphere, helping each project find its character as it develops. Her approach is thoughtful and instinctive. She notices what is missing, what is too much and what can simply be left alone. Alongside the studio, she continues her own art practice.
Clarence Garcia Meneses
Clarence looks after how a project is understood beyond a single image. Working across identity, communication and design, he helps the same idea remain clear wherever it appears - from a brochure or film to a hoarding or website. He brings experience from hospitality, residential and mixed-use projects, but his role in the studio is simple: to help each project feel like itself. He is also usually the first person to find the right place for dinner in a new city.
