Abin Design Studio

This studio is located in the Roynagar area of Bansdroni, which is in the southern part of Kolkata. We are very close to the Mete Maszid, so that’s the landmark we usually give people. It’s a busy residential neighborhood with lots of narrow streets and shops. The studio itself is just a regular building where we’ve set up our workspace. It’s not a fancy glass-fronted place. We have a lot of stuff scattered around—blueprints, rolls of paper, and various models we’ve been working on. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed. We don't have a strict hierarchy; everyone just does what needs to be done. Sometimes the neighborhood kids are playing cricket outside and we can hear them through the windows. It’s a very local vibe. We’ve been at this Bansdroni address for a while and the people around here know us. We usually get to the studio by rickshaw or auto from the metro station. It’s a bit of a commute but we like the area. Inside, the lights are usually a bit dim because we prefer it that way while working on the computers. We don’t have any marketing brochures or big sales pitches. If someone wants to see our work, they just come in and we show them what’s on the screens. It’s a simple, honest way of running a design studio. We just keep busy with our projects and try to stay organized without too much fuss.
