OUR IDENTITY
It’s common for young individuals at college and university to dream of starting a firm with peers, but very few of them see their plans come alive. While for most, it’s only table talk, our founding architects, Benson D’Souza and Shivangi Thapar have worked towards building a brand together in the world of architectural design.
While Shivangi is the organized taskmaster, she is more willing to go with the flow. Benson on the other hand, though creative, needs a plan in place at all times. And together, they are a dynamic team that brings out the true essence of BeSpace Studio.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
To quote renowned architect, Louis Kahn, “Architecture is the thoughtful making of space.” and we at the studio consciously work towards the same. Our team thrives on the synergy created with our clients who are partners in the vision they have for their spaces.
OUR FORTE
Simply put, we bring our client’s vision to life. Whether it’s all the design boards or saved social media posts with jaw-dropping spaces, our team moves mountains to customize what our clients visualize. We dedicate ourselves to create spaces that look just as stunning as functional they can be. With anything between an initial concept and a whole collection of ideas, we are here to provide our services to translate them into reality. We believe in clear and continuous communication and collaboration to ensure that all ideas and aspirations for any space can be manifested.
