Sonali Goyal Architect

You can find us at Shanti Kunj in the Indme Enclave. We are right opposite the P.S.E.B Office on Dhanaula Road. It’s a pretty easy place to find once you are on that road. Sonali Goyal Architect is basically a small practice where we focus on getting building designs right. Architecture involves a lot of sitting and thinking, and then a lot of drawing. We do all of that here. The office is a bit crowded with books and samples of materials, but that’s how a working space should look, I think. We don't really go for that clinical, empty-desk look. There is always something going on. Sometimes clients come in with very specific ideas, and other times they just have a vague notion of what they want. We sit down with them and try to figure out a plan that actually works on the ground. It’s not just about making something look nice; it has to be practical and fit the budget. Dhanaula Road is a busy area, so there is always noise outside, but we’ve gotten used to it. We take on projects of different sizes, mostly residential stuff for families around here. It feels good to see a house finally finished after spending months looking at it on a computer screen or on paper. We just keep plugging away at it, one drawing at a time, making sure we don't miss any of the small stuff that makes a building work for the people inside.
