Deepa & Jayesh Architects

Deepa & Jayesh Architects is located at number 20 on the 1st Cross, 5th Main in Virgo Nagar. It’s a small office where the two of us and a couple of others spend most of our daylight hours. We moved into this spot because we liked the layout and it was easy for people in Virgo Nagar to reach us. The space is mostly filled with bookshelves and large tables where we can lay out our drawings. We don't really have a lot of decorations on the walls, mostly just calendars and a few old photos of projects we finished a long time ago. Working together means we talk a lot about the designs, sometimes disagreeing on where a door should go or how big a window needs to be. It’s a lot of back and forth until we get it right. We use computers for a lot of the final stuff, but we still like to start with a pencil and a piece of paper. It feels more real that way. Virgo Nagar is a quiet enough place that we can actually hear ourselves think, which is important when you are trying to calculate the load on a beam. We aren't trying to change the world, we are just trying to build things that don't fall down and look okay to the people living in them. It’s a steady job and we are happy to be doing it here at number 20. We usually keep some tea handy.
