Sas Architects

Our place is on the ground floor of Raksha Nivas, right there at 159 in Basavanagar. If you know the 1st Cross in Karnataka Layout, you’ve probably walked past us a dozen times without noticing. Sas Architects is basically just a handful of us in a room with a lot of computers and some half-empty coffee mugs. It’s a quiet enough neighborhood most mornings, which helps when we have to focus on the technical side of things. We aren't trying to be some big corporate firm with glass walls and suit-wearing receptionists. It’s mostly just us in our regular clothes, trying to make sense of site plans and local regulations. Sometimes the internet acts up, or we spend way too long debating the thickness of a wall, but we get through it. People from around here stop by sometimes just to ask a quick question about their own renovations. We don’t mind. It’s good to be part of the street. The office is a bit cramped because we keep every drawing we’ve ever made, just in case we need them later. It’s a bit of a mess, but we know where everything is. We spend a lot of time out at sites too, getting our shoes dirty and making sure the builders are actually looking at the drawings we gave them. It’s practical work and we enjoy the process of seeing something go from a messy sketch to a real building people can use.
