After graduating from the School of Architecture, CEPT, Ahmedabad in 2004, Shaili had a brief period of practising architecture. Later she did her masters in urban management and architecture design from Domus Academy, Milan, Italy in 2006. Here she did her apprenticeship under Architect Stefano Boeri and Gianandrea Barreca.
After returning to Ahmedbad she started Shaili Banker Architects in 2007. It is an architectural firm that handles architectural, interior design and landscape design projects of varied nature and scales.
The firms approach to design is strictly unconventional and intense design experiments are carried out with physical as well as virtual models to achieve the required design concept. By treating each project as a creative experiment, design solutions are sought using unorthodox and highly logical way of thinking. Moreover, by not compromising with the comfort of the user, an intense study is carried out on the form of the building to achieve a stunning architecture that the owner is proud of.
