Goutam Modak Architect

Goutam Modak runs things here from EWS 707 in the 4th Phase of Yelahanka New Town. It’s a quiet corner of Bangalore, specifically over on 4th Cross. Being an architect in a place like Yelahanka means seeing a lot of new houses going up all the time. The office is at number 472 and it’s a pretty simple setup. There aren't any big signs or flashy lights. We mostly just focus on getting the drawings right for whoever comes through the door. Bangalore has changed so much, but this part of town still feels a bit more relaxed. We spend our days working on blueprints and trying to make sure everything fits within the plot sizes we have to work with. It's a lot of measuring and double-checking numbers. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to wait a bit, but that’s just part of life here. We aren't trying to be the biggest firm in the city. It is just about doing the work and making sure the structures are solid. People around the neighborhood know where to find us if they need a plan for a new floor or a renovation. We keep things pretty low-key. There’s no big reception area, just a desk and some chairs where we sit and talk about walls, roofs, and windows. It's honest work and it keeps us busy. We like the pace here and wouldn't really want to be anywhere else in the city right now.
