R D & M Architects

We are over at 945 Refinery Road in the HAL 2nd Stage area. Being near the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited grounds means there’s a lot of activity around us. Our office is a functional space, nothing too elaborate. We have a few big desks and some filing cabinets that are overflowing with old project files. The windows look out toward the road, so we see the tankers and trucks going by all day. It’s a bit of an industrial neighborhood, which suits the way we work. We focus heavily on the technical side of things, spending hours on site measurements and structural drawings. There’s always a stack of yellow helmets near the door for when we need to head out to a construction site. Inside, it’s mostly the sound of clicking mice and the occasional drone of the ceiling fan. We don’t do a lot of fancy presentations. Usually, it’s just us sitting around a table with a bunch of printouts, trying to work out the plumbing or the electrical layout. We keep a big water cooler in the corner because it gets quite warm in the afternoons. Our day is usually a mix of being at the desk and being out in the sun at a site. We just keep moving through the tasks and try to keep the drawings as clear as we can.
