Tatva Design Studio

Tatva Design Studio is over in Vastrapur, at I-404 in the Shyam building. We are near the fountain, which is a good landmark for people trying to find us for the first time. The office is on one of the upper floors, so we get a bit of a view of the neighborhood. Since it is a design studio, there are usually sketches and papers pinned up everywhere, and the desks are rarely ever clean. We have a lot of books on the shelves that we use for reference, though they mostly just collect dust these days. It is a quiet place for the most part, except when we are all arguing about a specific detail on a project. We don’t have a formal dress code or anything like that; we just wear whatever is comfortable. The building is a bit older, so the walls have some cracks here and there, and the lights flickers once in a while. We have a small balcony where we go to get some air when the office feels too cramped. Most of our day is spent staring at screens or drawing on tablets. We don't really have visitors often, so we don't worry about keeping the place looking like a magazine. It’s a real working space where things get messy and projects take up a lot of room. It feels like a second home to most of us because of how much time we spend here.
