Grover Karandeep Singh Architect

Grover Karandeep Singh Architect has its office at 50-A, Old Jail Road, right across from Kapoor Mills. If you know that area, you know it can get pretty hectic with all the traffic. Our place is usually filled with the sound of fans and the scratching of pencils. We aren't a corporate firm with hundreds of employees. It is just a small operation where we handle each drawing ourselves. Being near Kapoor Mills makes it easy for people to find us when they are heading into town. We spend a lot of our mornings checking emails and our afternoons getting deep into the technical side of building design. There’s always a lot of dust on the windows from the road outside but we don't mind it much. We have been at this for a while and have seen many changes around Old Jail Road. Designing a building is more about solving puzzles than anything else. You have a certain amount of space and a lot of things that need to go into it. We try to be practical about it. There is no point in drawing something that can’t be built properly. We talk to the masons and the carpenters quite a bit to make sure they understand what the plans are saying. It’s a lot of talking and a lot of drawing.
