Raza Architects

You can find us at number 33 on Lalbagh Road. It’s an old area and we’ve been part of it for a good amount of time. Working as Raza Architects in a place like this means you deal with a lot of different types of buildings, from older structures that need a lot of help to new plots that are just dirt. We don’t have a big corporate philosophy. Mostly, we just show up, drink too much tea, and try to draw lines that make sense for the people living in the spaces. The office is usually full of rolls of tracing paper and old models that have gathered a bit of dust. It isn't the cleanest place, but we know where everything is. Lalbagh Road is always moving, and we like the energy outside our window. We spend our days dealing with things like setbacks, height limits, and where to put the stairs so they don't eat up the whole living room. It's honest work and it gets tiring sometimes, especially when a design doesn't quite click the first time. We go back to the drawing board and try again. We don't claim to be the flashiest firm in town. We’re just local people who know how to put a building together. If someone needs a hand with a permit or a set of drawings, they usually just walk in and ask. There’s always someone around to help out.
