studio
An artist's workspace, for example that of a painter, sculptor, or photographer.
Die Malerin verbringt die meiste Zeit des Tages in ihrem lichtdurchfluteten Atelier.
The painter spends most of the day in her light-filled studio.
The word 'Atelier' (studio) comes from French. This explains the stress on the final syllable, which is unusual for German words, and the spelling.
Viele Künstler träumen von einem eigenen Atelier mit viel Tageslicht.
Many artists dream of having their own studio with lots of daylight.
Pay attention to the case after the preposition 'in': 'ins Atelier gehen' (to go into the studio, accusative) describes movement toward it, while 'im Atelier sein' (to be in the studio, dative) describes location.
Der Fotograf geht jeden Morgen in sein Atelier.
The photographer goes to his studio every morning.
In the context of art, 'Atelier' (studio) is often used with verbs such as 'arbeiten' (to work), 'malen' (to paint), 'schaffen' (to create), or 'einrichten' (to set up). Typical adjectives are 'hell' (bright), 'groß' (large), or 'lichtdurchflutet' (flooded with light).
Die Künstlerin hat sich ein helles Atelier unter dem Dach eingerichtet.
The artist has set up a bright studio under the roof.
You can recognize the meaning 'workshop of a fashion designer' from the context. Words like 'Mode' (fashion), 'Designer' (designer), 'Kleidung' (clothing), 'schneidern' (to tailor), or 'entwerfen' (to design) point to this meaning.
Die neue Kollektion wird direkt im Atelier des Designers von Hand gefertigt.
The new collection is made by hand directly in the designer's atelier.

'das Studio' and 'das Atelier' can both be a workspace for creative work. 'Atelier' is used especially for artists, photographers, sculptors, or people in fashion. It suggests a place where things are designed, painted, photographed, or where clothing is created. 'Studio' is broader: it can also be a room for music, radio, television, or photography. In addition, 'Studio' has other meanings, such as a gym or a studio apartment. The words can be confused especially in art and photography. When it is clearly about visual art or fashion, 'Atelier' is often more precise.
Die Malerin arbeitet jeden Nachmittag in ihrem hellen Atelier.
The painter works in her bright studio every afternoon.
