About our company

Taher Shabbir Habib, Architect and Interior Designer, completed his B. Arch. (1992) from Sir JJ College of Architecture. An association with Master Architect, Charles Correa provided an exposure to projects ranging from luxury homes to townships, from corporate houses to parliament house; from religious edifices to community transport hub. A period of association and an era of influence in thought and design process.

In a span of 25 years, Habib has added to his repertoire of international and national large-scale projects. Member of the Council of Architecture and Associate Member of Indian Institute of Architects, he has been involved in designing institutional, industrial, hospitality, residential, retail and corporate projects.

The thoughts behind these projects have always been those of providing clever and creative generation of spaces for habitation and use. The challenges thrown at us repeatedly have been tight spaces, constrained budgets and large user requirements. Confronting these challenges, we have evolved as the firm to approach for creative space design and project management.
