Thomas Associates prides itself on staying at the cutting edge of global design, ensuring that its contribution to Bangalore’s skyline has kept pace with its global evolution into a megapolis.
Headquartered in Bangalore, Thomas Associates is headed by T. M. Thomas, the Principal Architect of the firm, who has over 40 years of experience in the field of traditional and specialised architectural services. After a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Madras University, he completed a fellowship with the Indian Institute of Architects and further specialised in tropical architecture at the Architectural Association, England. Tom, as he is popularly known, worked in London for a few years before heading home to Bangalore.
TA is supported by a large team of architects, engineers and draftsmen at various levels, backed by skilled specialised consultancy groups in structural and electrical engineering, plumbing, fire prevention, landscape architecture and interior design.
Internationally renowned hotels like The Leela Palace, Bangalore and prestigious ongoing projects such as The Hilton, Accor and Taj hotels in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai, all bear the unmistakeable stamp of a TA project. Recent commercial projects include UB City Bangalore, Titanium Bangalore, Raheja Towers Chennai and high-end IT parks in Bangalore such as Bagmane Tech Park, RMZ Nxt, SJR I-Park, all of which house a number of global technology companies.
And what of the future? “We would like to refine our core competence of continuing the TA imprint by designing landmark projects that maintain the quintessence of Bangalore,” says Tilak.
Thomas quotes TA’s ethos, “A profession is different from a business. There is a fine line that separates the two and we stay on the professional side. We are committed to our profession and remain focussed on being an ethical, design-oriented, solution providing and innovative firm.”
