Kaur Prabhjot Architect

We set up shop here in Fatesh Singh Nagar, right near the Dana Mandi gate. It’s a busy area, especially with all the trucks and the market activity outside. Our office is through the gate, staying with Apar Singh’s place. It’s a simple setup. Kaur Prabhjot handles the design work and the rest of us help out where we can. We’ve been working out of Bhagtan Wala for a good while now. The noise from the market is just part of our day. We do a lot of residential stuff, mostly for families nearby. It’s a lot of drawing and then going out to check on how the brickwork is looking. We don't have a big sign or anything. Most people find us because they know someone we worked for before. We try to keep things simple. Dealing with the heat and the dust from the road is just something you get used to after a week. We spend a lot of time on the computer these days, but we still like the old paper maps and sketches. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just take a break until it comes back. We don't have any big corporate goals. We just want to make sure the houses we plan are sturdy and safe. It’s a small operation. We know the people in the neighborhood by name. If you're looking for us, we're usually here until late afternoon, unless we're out at a site or running errands.
