Talati and Partners – Experts in the art of architecture & design

Talati and Partners, (or TPA), are a Mumbai-based architectural and interior design firm, who has clinched the highly acclaimed Best Luxury Architect Studio in India 2021 title, by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. This prestigious award leads us here to unpack its history, heritage, and honor its achievements.  With a legacy of over 50 years in Architecture, Interior Design and Construction Administration, Talati & Partners (TPA) is a full-service design consultancy and can boast of being one of the oldest architectural firms in India. The partners’ Noshir Talati, Naushir Devitre, Xerxes Talati, Ria Talati Advani and Ratish Patil are driven towards a mission to cater to design services that go beyond any standard practice. With a multidisciplinary team of over 300 people, they are resourced to provide stellar service to its high-end clientele.  

Talati and Partners boast half a century of experience, offering cutting-edge expertise in the fields of architecture, interior design, as well as construction administration. This full-service solution appeals to discerning clients as well as industry collaborators, in keeping their important projects efficiently managed, executed, and delivered. Too many moving parts can oftentimes cause fragmentation, but this tightly knit operation ensures all areas of the project come together like an exquisitely woven tapestry.  

An in-depth outline of their services include:  

Architecture 

TPA approaches their building projects from an internal perspective, outwards. A strong focus on practical outcomes weighs just as heavily as an aesthetic creation. Many factors need to be considered, contributing to the overall success of the project. These include cost, workmanship, form, function and environmental sustainability, and impact – all of which are carefully considered in a thorough operational process. Further, their projects include a wide spectrum of sectors, including residential, airports, hospitality, retail, corporate, education, and medical outlets.  

Interior Design 

Whether classic, modern, contemporary, or avant-garde, TPA specializes in a diversity of design styles, making them adaptable to a broad range of client briefs. Recognizing the importance of partnering with their clients in truly understanding their vision and working with them in achieving it, yields impressive results. Making use of progressive technology, they bring the project and designs to life, proving to be a valuable resource to the creative process. ‘Distinction is in the detail’ is the mantra that lays the foundation upon which they tackle a project – which is a defining factor in the work they produce. Every detail, no matter how seemingly insignificant is considered and contributes to their sensational results.  

Construction Administration 

TPA further provides project management to their clients, ensuring the construction progresses according to schedule, budget, and quality specifications. This is not an optional extra, but rather a necessary part of the construction. Another benefit of having this hands-on management is that their design professionals can spot an opportunity to enhance the design mid-construction. They’re then in a position to redirect the process accordingly. Having a liaison between clients and multiple contractors makes the experience smoother for all parties concerned. 

Part of Talati and Partners’ winning strategies is collaborations with design firms around the globe. This affords them the opportunity to glean the latest international trends and stay at the forefront of industry knowledge. With a tightly-knit team, these collaborations and ultimately teamwork form the backbone structure of their operation – without which they cannot attribute success. Relational strength is evident in 20 – 30 year partnerships, attesting to their incredible cultural ethics and performance. Credibility is all-important, especially in the luxury sector, and they’ve attracted that market for good reason.  

With a string of awards behind their name, most notably their recent title from the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, positions them favourably in securing top-end contracts with some of the most prestigious brands. Clients to date include the likes of Oberoi Realty, Hotel Ibis, Blue Star Diamonds, Mumbai Airport, United Breweries Group, Orbit Corporation, and Globus Retail, to name a few. Most notable projects include Shirpur Technology, Nashik Maharashtra, Casa Grande in Mumbai, Ceejay House in Mumbai, Bombay Hospital Indore, Jindal Mansion, and Cadbury House India.  

Their work has stood the test of time and continues to shine as a testament to the extraordinary talent, commitment, and vision of its team and leadership. Working with Talati and Partners on a luxury construction project is most likely the best step one could take in ensuring one’s investment is in safe, professional, and expert hands. With rave reviews and an awe-inspiring portfolio – they’re hard to beat.
