Jay Gajjar Architects

Our office is located on Ashram Road, right across from the Panasonic showroom. It's at 5 Mangal Kunj Flat on the ground floor. Being on Ashram Road means we get a lot of noise and traffic outside, but it's a central spot in Ahmedabad. We've been doing architecture work from here for quite some time. It's a simple setup inside. Usually, you'll find us hunched over desks looking at blueprints or talking to contractors on the phone. We don't have a big reception area or anything like that. People just drop by when they have a project in mind. We handle the basic stuff like building plans and site visits. Ahmedabad is growing so fast, and there's always something being built nearby. We try to keep up with the pace. Some days are slow, others are just chaotic with meetings. We don't really do the whole corporate pitch thing. We just tell people what can be done and what can't. It's straightforward work for us. If you are around the ground floor of Mangal Kunj, that's where we are. We've worked on various types of buildings across the city. It’s a lot of back and forth with clients to get the details right. We just keep our heads down and focus on the drawings. The office gets a bit dusty because of the road construction that always seems to be happening nearby. It’s not a place for a fancy photo shoot, but it works.
