Early on in his career, Tarun got the opportunity to work with well known architects, beginning with the renowned “Hundred Hands” in Bangalore, where he helped design and execute high-end residential apartments, penthouses, large scale industrial projects under the aegis of Bijoy Ramachandran.

This was subsequently followed up by work experience in New Delhi with the celebrated French architect, Stephane Paumier of “SPA Design Ltd.”. Here he worked on the prestigious Franco-German Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

These stints helped him gain invaluable experience in the field, thereby enriching his own architectural ideologies and philosophies. Presently, he helms his own multi-disciplinary design firm by the name of Studio Mohenjodaro, which was established in the year 2014.

The practice deals with a variety of projects, greatly varying in scale and style. With an aesthetic bent towards the rustic and understated, they have been producing a unique body of work that has been a regular feature in many critically acclaimed national and international journals.

The ideological approach to each design, at the core, is to keep it practical and relatable. Detail in designing of interior spaces is given as much attention as the planning of larger, architectural assignments.The studio believes that spatial quality should not isolate the soul, rather it should comfort and nurture it, providing a sense of belonging and ownership to its occupant. In other words, the designs are contextual and fulfill the requirements of the clients.

“The design, more often than not, unravels itself after deliberately ironing out the complex layers of the built form. The corollary is a simple and understated yet comprehensively elegant design fabric that wraps the aesthetic.”
