Founded in 2018, The Architecture Story (TAS) is a Chennai-based design studio dedicated to spatial storytelling. From urban interventions to intimate dwellings, we design responsive environments that blur the boundaries between the built and the natural.
We create spaces and objects that balance form and feeling. Our work extends beyond buildings into exhibition designs, installations, and temporary structures—introducing rhythm, multiplicity, and movement to transform static environments into immersive experiences.
We approach each project as an opportunity to innovate, striving for what we call 'radical simplicity'—a design principle that strips away excess, prioritizing adaptability and flexibility, to reveal environments that are deeply attuned to human experience.
