Aniketan Architects & Interiors

We are tucked away at 15/1 Malleshwaram, right on 4th Cross. If you know where Hallimane Restaurant is, we are just a short walk from there. Our office isn't one of those glass-walled places you see in movies. It’s a comfortable space where we keep our drawings and samples piled up. Aniketan Architects & Interiors started out small, and we’ve stayed that way on purpose. We spend most of our time looking at floor plans or talking to contractors on the phone. Sometimes the floor is covered in tile samples and carpet swatches because we’re trying to figure out what looks right. It’s not always pretty or organized. We have a few desks and a couple of computers that have seen better days. Usually, there’s a pot of tea going in the back. We like being in Malleshwaram because the neighborhood has a lot of character. You can hear the sounds of the street while we work. We don't have a receptionist, so if the phone rings, one of us just picks it up. We do our own sketches and handle the site visits ourselves. It’s a lot of walking and measuring. Some days are long, especially when we are trying to finish a drawing before a deadline. We just enjoy making spaces work better for people. It’s practical work and we take it one day at a time. The office is often full of paper and pens.
