The Habitat Design Studio
The human habitat transcends traditional geospatial boundaries and government classifications. At Tarutium Global Consulting, we view it as a continuous effort to create and maintain public spaces that are both liveable and charming but also sustainable, inclusive, and accessible. This vision encompasses a human landscape that fosters contentment, dignity, opportunities, and a sense of responsibility among its inhabitants, systems, and institutions.
In line with this philosophy, Tarutium Global Consulting launched ‘The Habitat Design Studio’ to address challenges and provide solutions using design thinking principles and modern design, planning, and market tools. This initiative transforms urban, peri-urban, and rural areas into smart, resilient, and sustainable habitats.
