OUR Story

The firm was founded by Chinglemba Chingtham in 2010. Till then he worked in many design and architecture firms engaging with many talented designers, architects and artists conceptualizing and executing various projects of different scales in different cities across the globe from Aichi (Japan) to London. In parallel he pursued other interests including illustrations for books and exploring the usage of bamboo as a sustainable construction material. He was appointed head of design for few firms before founding Enso Design with the aim to pursue and realize his creative ambitions with like-minded team of architects, designers and artists.

Since its inception the firm has steadily grown from designing award winning exhibition stands and renovation projects to dealing with larger and complex challenges in different contexts and geographies across the country. It’s their conscious effort to keep continuously engaged in various scales of projects, and typologies to keep the team excited and invigorated with every fresh challenge in dealing with different scales.

our process

We start each design with sketches and further develop on 3D software. Physical scale models are often made to examine the working at different scales to test ideas and continually assess the project’s physical and spatial evolution. Working with different mediums during the design process enables us to understand the project from different perspectives achieving the best solutions for any project. We evolve a design language in dialogue with the geographic location, cultural context and heritage, and nature of each building’s program. This results in an aesthetic that is unique and appropriate to each client and project. We collaborate with specialists and technical experts viz a viz landscape architects, engineers, lighting designers, graphic and signage designers. We believe that a project’s success is founded on this collaborative and integrated team approach. We can effectively work on multiple design projects simultaneously because we are unusually nimble and flexible as a firm, adapting quickly.
