Their approach often involves collaborative processes with local communities, aiming to create spaces that reflect the needs and aspirations of the people who use them. Projects such as the "Novo Centro Cultural e Comunitário: Jardins do Bombarda" illustrate their commitment to integrating cultural and community facilities into urban landscapes.

Through their work, ateliermob seeks to challenge traditional architectural practices and promote a more inclusive and democratic approach to urban development. Their projects and initiatives reflect a deep understanding of the social and spatial dynamics of contemporary cities, making them a notable figure in the European architectural landscape.
