Vitan Architects

Our office is located over in Paldi, specifically at 1 Ramvihar Society on P.T. College Road. It’s a pretty quiet spot compared to the main roads of Ahmedabad, which makes it a decent place for drawing and planning things out. Vitan Architects isn't a giant firm with hundreds of employees. It is more of a small group of us sitting around drafting tables and computers, trying to figure out how to make buildings work properly. We spend a lot of time looking at site plans and talking to contractors on the phone. The office itself is part of a residential society, so it feels more like a home than a stiff corporate environment. We have stacks of blueprints and samples lying around most of the time. Sometimes the chai wala comes by, or we just walk down the street to get something to eat. We deal with the usual headaches of construction and city permits, just like anyone else in this business. It’s a lot of back and forth with clients and making sure the dimensions are right before anything actually gets built. We have been in this Paldi location for a good bit now, and the neighbors know us. It’s not a flashy place, but it serves us well for the kind of practical work we do every day. We just keep our heads down and try to get the designs done on schedule without making a big fuss about it.
