TAC is a multi-disciplinary design studio based in Mumbai, India, founded in 2018 by Manasvi Bachhav, Kulsum Tambawala and Rohit Walimbe. TAC draws inspiration from site contexts, local ecologies, and composite construction techniques - inducing play, vibrancy and functionality effectively, through power-packed minimalist interventions. Our comprehensive approach towards utility, scale and materiality, paired with meticulous landscape design aims to induce a layered and timeless character to each space we imagine. At TAC we explore design at multiple scales; ranging from private family homes, resorts, urban design, and industrial buildings to residential/office interior design and furniture. Our current work includes multiple private farmhouse / vacation home constructions, industrial constructions, commercial, educational and residential interior projects across Maharashtra.
We collaborate with construction professionals that share our commitment to exemplary planning, design, and execution. Our clients are our partners in creation and we work closely with them to deliver innovative customized end-to-end solutions for any budget or specialized needs. We love constantly pushing the limits to generate innovative solutions for the project constraints of every scale and size. Our strength lies in conceptualization of complex design briefs and transforming them into practical, high design user-centric end products.
