The new studio space for Taliesyn is a quiet reflection of the studio's ideologies and work ethos. Located on the southern side of Bengaluru, Taliesyn studio draws attention to the existing foliage and context through vernacular concepts and biophilic inclusions.

Spread across an area of 2400 sq ft, the existing site conditions dictate the overall spatial narrative based on the hierarchy of privacy and a fluid, open-built relationship. Arranged perpendicular to the central court is the two-storey studio space along the North-South axis and the material library along the East-West. Anchored by a bold exposed framework that forms the structural skeleton, the main studio space encompasses a series of semi-circular arches and built-in metal sections. The double-storey studio space, viewed on the exterior by a single tall facade, is broken by volumes on the inside. Displaying a stark contrast from the external experience, internal volumes are staggered to augment visual connections across the studio, pushing the envelope of collaborative learning.

Building on a sense of nostalgia to connect the old studio and the new, this simplistic workspace inculcates the collaborative effort interwoven in the studio’s identity as a practice. The studio for Taliesyn continues to create an engaging dialogue between people, spaces, and objects in an honest and sublime way.
