Studio unTAG jobs and careers

About Studio unTAG

unTAG is a unison of two contrasting personalities, Gauri Satam and Tejesh Patil, architecture graduates from Sir JJ COA Mumbai, who have come together to craft a Mumbai based interdisciplinary design studio since 2015. The studio strongly adheres to climatic sensibility, contextual rooting, spatial functionality, material sensitivity and economic viability as their core values. unTAG has effectively accomplished cost effective, environmentally conscious residential, institutional and hospitality projects pan-India, while having participated and won some international competitions too. The studio has also received some prestigious design awards like IAB’s Young Designers Award, Trends Sustainability Award for their overly simple, sustainable and cost-effective work. We do not want to associate our practice with a particular design language, rather we want our design to be dictated by the brief, budget, climate and context, hence the name unTAG. Being a young zealous practice, we consider each project SPECIAL, calling for a SPECIFIC design solution, SENSITIVE to its context, irrespective of its scale or budget. Through our experimental practice, we wish to lend our service to every strata of society, till the very grass-root level. We have been constantly questioning the current trend of most affluent architects catering mainly to the rich, creating a picturesque image of their practice, while prioritizing aesthetics over rationale. For us, it's not just how the built form looks, rather how it is experienced and inhabited by the users, and how gracefully it ages.We ensure an active role of the users while evolving our design, understanding their aspirations, lifestyles and constraints, which helps us collaboratively shape a project which is value for money, time and sentiments. We feel the most difficult thing to achieve in design is simplicity, which we always strive towards.
