The article changes with the case; it is shown in colour.
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.
