Taliesyn – Design – & Architecture

Taliesyn strives to conceptualize Architectural and Design solutions that inherently fulfil the sole intention of creating meaningful and appropriate spatial interventions.

After having garnered extensive experience at prestigious design studios, Ar. Shalini Chandrashekar and Ar. G. S. Mahaboob Basha joined forces to co-found Taliesyn in the year 2010 in Bangalore. The design tools curated by the studio enhance the in-house research processes and also catapult the evolution of the conceptual frameworks. The spatial quality in the firm’s vision is a balanced concoction of emotional sensibilities, and tangibility of design comes through in the form of detailed design processes. Exploration of materials based on their proximity to the site, physical properties, appearances and the effect it introduces into a space is of paramount importance in each project. Taliesyn strongly endorses the use of local materials to promote sustainability in their practice.The practice’s design philosophy involves decoding an architecture deeply rooted in the landscape & responds to the vernacular paradigm of site & materiality. Exploration of materials based on their proximity to the site, properties, appearances & the effect it introduces into space is paramount. Taliesyn’s body of work is strung together by a common thread of contextual sensitivity & architectural experiences that holistically engage the senses.

The practice’s design philosophy involves determining the purpose of the brief based on planning, analysis and drafting, to designing the piece of architecture which is deeply rooted to the landscape and constructed out of vernacular materials.

The practice is focussed on architectural and interior design services, braced by a diverse and enthusiastic 15 member team, working in tandem with consultants, engineers and other collaborators, in order to achieve innovativeness and newness in all the design solutions.
