Mohinderjit Singh Architect

My office is tucked away at 16, Tagore Colony, right near The Mall. I've been doing this for a long time now. Usually, it's just me and a couple of helpers working on floor plans and site visits. The building here has some character, and being so close to The Mall means there's always something going on outside. I spend a lot of my mornings drinking tea and looking at site photos or redrawing things that didn't look right the first time. It’s a bit of a walk-up, but people find us. Most of the work is just figuring out how to fit what people want into the space they actually have. Sometimes it takes a lot of back and forth. I don’t use any of those big fancy systems, just honest work on the drafting table and some computer stuff when needed. The files are piled up on the shelves, dating back years. It’s a quiet spot for the most part, unless the traffic on The Mall gets really loud. I like being in this part of town because it feels established. People around here know where to find the office if they need a plan drawn up for a renovation or a new build. It’s just what I do, day in and day out, making sure the brick and mortar stuff makes sense. I don’t mind the long hours much, as long as the projects move forward and the builders know what they are doing.
