The Architools Notebook is designed with the purpose of making this process as seamless as possible, while providing a premium experience through the quality of our materials.

Available in Pure White (left) & Copper Patina (right).

Our minimalist design approach stems from the belief that the design of the notebook should celebrate the contents that it carries, rather than distract from it.

As the number of Architools Notebooks increase, we intend for it to be viewed as a collection of projects, instead of pile notebooks.

Paper quality and design guide:

Pages of 'The Annex'

The result is an A5 sized pure white notebook, consisting of 140 sheets (280 pages) of crisp 100gsm wood-free paper, flanked by 300gsm white covers that blend in monolithically with the pages.

'The Annex' contains essential design references & a monthly planner.

It also contains a monthly planner to keep track of your submission deadlines and project timelines, as well as 6 pages of ‘The Annex’, our printed guide of basic references for architecture drawings.

Lay-flat binding:

Smyth Sewn Lay-flat Binding

An exposed Smyth Sewn binding allows it to lay flat open in a perfect A4 size, perfect for seamless sketching and scanning.

A4 Sized Sketching and Scanning

No ruled or dotted pages also means that transferring your sketches to a computer will not include any unwanted dots or lines that will be troublesome to omit.

Copper functional elements:

For those on the move, we have placed a copper strip front and back to protect the corners of your notebook from blunting.

We chose copper because of the beautiful natural patina that will develop over time, which has been the inspiration for celebrated architectural facades around the world.

The dimensions of the copper protector were derived through the golden ratio, which leaves us with a perfectly proportioned design that we feel is timeless.
