ABOUT

In Quest Design Studio is an architectural firm established in 2017 by Selim Altaf Biplob, Tamanna Sayeed and Khalid Bin Kabir. It is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Our architecture is a collaborative of passionate contributions of each Teammate throughout the entire extent of any particular project. In team effort we trust. Our team consists of Architects, Engineers, Craftsmen, Tradesmen, Contractors and above all our Clients. All play equally important roles into creating an architecture. We are truly thankful to all of our teammates without whom we would be incomplete.

Architecture begins with the dream of clients. Clients go on board with us into an unknown journey through the design process slowly discovering the beauty of architecture. We guide them throughout the journey and vice versa. We have been lucky to have found so many good-hearted clients whom we thank.

Another major part of our process is the involvement of consultants like Structural, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing engineers whose expertise enrich both our conceptual and technical quality of the projects. We thank them for honoring our complicated path from the earliest stages of the design to the completion of construction.

The contribution of contractors and various craftsmen and tradesmen are as equally as important. Every piece of successful architecture depends on these hard-working people who put their heart and soul into transforming our ideas into three-dimensional reality. 

Lastly and most importantly, the total process rests largely on the young shoulders of our associate architects and experienced draftsmen. The continuous effort of developing each project carries on round-the-clock. It is truly their passion, honesty and mental toughness that deserves most of the credit for the numerous projects showcased here. 

 

The name of the firm is synonymous with the basic driving force behind architectural practices, which is, never-ending search, relentless quest for something more, something better.

Architecture is not only about shelter but satisfying imagination and ego as well. For every living species, shelter is essential where they can generate complex structure for themselves. Some animals and insects are so intelligent that their colony can be compared to the modern-day cityscape. But only human race wishes to build something not only to protect themselves from adverse environment but sometimes to glorify his ego, agony or joy. That’s how architecture evolved as a relentless search for something more, to achieve something immeasurable. Throughout the history, architects are in quest of appropriate answer for each and every type of structure and the search goes on. And this QUEST is fundamental to all architecture practitioners.

 

BACKGROUND

The senior partners of In QUEST design studio - Selim Altaf Biplob and Tamanna Sayeed - did their graduation from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 1997. Soon after, they began their own architectural practice under the name “Synthesis Architects” along with friend and batch mate Patrick D’ Rozario, one of the most prominent names in the field. Their firm achieved several architectural awards, both nationally and internationally, and secured its position as one of the leading architectural firms of the country. Synthesis Architects has been a breeding ground for many promising young architects. Tanvir Hassan Niru was one of them who eventually became another partner from 2013. Khalid Bin Kabir, the other partner of In QUEST, has also graduated from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2012 and joined Synthesis Architects in 2010 as an architect. After 20 years in the field of architectural practice since 1997, Selim Altaf Biplob, Tamanna Sayeed and Khalid Bin Kabir have now launched a new venture - in Quest design studio. Two decades with Synthesis Architects had been a fascinating opportunity to gradually grow as professionals. In QUEST is an attempt to lift the creativity and imagination to a new level.
