Naveen Vivek Architects

If you go to Chamrajpet 152, you will find our office. This is where Naveen and I spend most of our days working on designs. We started Naveen Vivek Architects because we both enjoyed figuring out how buildings actually stay up and look decent at the same time. The office sits right in the middle of a very busy part of Chamrajpet. There is always a lot of noise from the traffic outside, but we have gotten used to it over the years. Inside, we have a couple of desks and a whole lot of samples like tiles, wood pieces, and bits of stone scattered everywhere. It honestly gets a bit crowded. Usually, one of us is out checking on a construction site while the other stays back to handle the phone calls and the drawing work. We do not do anything very flashy or corporate. We just focus on getting the drawings right so the builders know what to do. Sometimes we stay late when a project is due, eating take-out food and talking about where a wall should go. We know most of the people who work in the shops around here. Most of our work comes from people who just walk in or heard about us from someone else in the neighborhood. We do not have a receptionist, so we just answer the door ourselves. It’s a simple way to run a business, and it works for us. We have been at this address for a long time.
