A women-led
studio
Creativity and elegance, carried from an architecture practice founded in 1990 into the rooms people live and work in.
We design homes and commercial spaces that reflect the personalities and lifestyles of the people who use them.
Tealtell specialises in both residential and commercial interiors. We blend artistic vision with function, so a room is beautiful and also makes everyday life easier.
We believe true elegance lives in the details: the colour palette, the bespoke piece of furniture, the light at four in the afternoon. Every project gets that care, delivered on your time and within your budget.
Creativity
Every room starts from the people in it, never from a catalogue.
Inclusivity
Homes for every generation, spaces for every kind of visitor.
Sustainability
Considered materials and interiors built to last, not to be redone.
Our parent
practice, since 1990
Aesthetic Designs was founded in 1990 by Ar. Juzer Chahwala, who holds a Masters in Urban Design from the University of Oklahoma and is a member of the AIA and USGBC. Over three decades of architecture across India and abroad, the practice has stood for creativity, functionality and sustainability. Tealtell carries that standard into interiors.
