Naveen Architects Design Studio

The studio is on the 2nd floor of No. 810, right on the 27th Main Road in HSR Layout Sector 1. Most people find us by looking for the Krishna Sagar Hotel, which is right nearby. Naveen Architects Design Studio is mostly just a bunch of us sitting around drafting tables and computers. It’s often quite messy with rolls of paper and samples of materials everywhere. We spend a lot of time arguing over where a wall should go or how to fit everything into a small space. Being in HSR Layout means we see a lot of new buildings going up all the time. It’s a busy neighborhood. We’ve been at this for a while. Sometimes we’re out at sites getting dusty, and other times we’re just stuck here trying to finish a drawing before the sun goes down. We don't have a receptionist or anything. If the bell rings, whoever is closest to the door gets it. The lights are usually on late. We aren't trying to be the biggest firm in Bangalore or anything like that. We just like making sure things are built right. The commute can be a pain with the traffic on the main road, but we’ve gotten used to it. It’s a practical life. We drink a lot of tea and just keep sketching. Every project is a bit different, which keeps it from getting too boring. We just take it one floor plan at a time.
