Film offers an authentic texture and warmth that’s difficult to replicate, allowing the landscapes we capture to feel timeless and grounded - as they naturally exist. The layered line work reflects human forms and foliage, creating a dialogue between nature and human ambition as we seek to understand the most fundamental concerns of human existence.  Shelter, as the first architectural gesture, arises the ethical question concerning philosophy—how do we aspire to live?

Architecture is about creating spaces that connect people with their surroundings. At Alki Design, we draw immense inspiration from the natural world—the landscapes, textures, and emotions that shape our vision. Our print collection embodies this connection. Each print serves as a reflection of our journey in capturing the raw beauty of nature and translating it into visual form. It’s an opportunity for you to bring a piece of that inspiration into your own space, allowing the art to spark a deeper connection between you and the world outside.

Our process begins in the landscape with a vintage 1964 Pentax Spotmatic. A manual film camera passed down through generations, now refurbished and loaded with fresh 35mm film. We seek out scenes that move us, scenes that speak to the story we want to tell. The film camera is our tool for capturing these moments, embedding them with the texture of time and place.  

After the images are developed, we bring them into the digital realm, carefully overlaying them with line work that reflects the architectural language we work with daily. 

The creative process behind these prints mirrors the balance we strive for in our architectural work—a harmony between the digital and natural worlds. Every element is thoughtfully composed, from the moment the camera’s shutter clicks to the final line drawn on the digital canvas.

Each fine art print is printed on 310 gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper, then delivered straight to you.
