Ishpal Singh Architect

Our office is over at 24, Golden Avenue. It’s a pretty easy place to find once you know where you’re going. Ishpal spends most of his time looking over blueprints or talking to people about their building ideas. We keep things pretty straightforward here. There’s no big reception desk or anything like that. Just some desks, chairs, and a lot of rolled-up drawings sitting in the corners. It can get a little messy when we have multiple projects going on at once. We handle a mix of things, from small home renovations to bigger stuff. The light in the office is good in the mornings, which helps when you’re trying to see small details on a plan. We’ve been part of the area for some time. Most of the work involves sitting down with a pencil or the computer and figuring out how things fit together. It's practical work. We don't really do the flashy stuff you see in magazines. It’s more about making sure the walls are in the right place and the roof won't leak. Sometimes we go out to the sites to see how the builders are doing. It's dusty work out there and you have to watch where you step. Back at Golden Avenue, it's quieter and easier to think. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing. That's the daily routine for us most weeks. We don't mind the quiet days when we can just draw.
