FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT
Like many of us, Thamarai began her professional journey believing that the urban world—with its endless opportunities, advanced infrastructure, and sophisticated networks—was the pinnacle of human achievement. She saw cities as the complete package for a connected and fulfilling life. But in her own quiet moments of observation, she began to notice a profound disconnect. She realized that while cities offer incredible advantages, they lack the unique and essential quality found in rural and forest environments: a true bond between humans, other forms of life, and the natural world. This was more than just a preference; it was a fundamental missing piece that no amount of urban convenience could replace. This observation became her core intent. Her goal was to address this gap, not by abandoning the city, but by using her architectural knowledge to bridge it. This personal mission evolved into the foundational philosophy of biocentric architecture for her firm: Ellone Biocentric Built Environments. Today, her work is a testament to this journey. Through various research works, design projects, experimental designs, and collaborative initiatives, she applies her expertise to seamlessly integrate nature and other life with advanced technology within the built environment. She has been fortunate to find like-minded professionals, and together, they work to create a more connected world.
