Shilpa Sindoor Architects & Planners

Our workspace is at 511 9/1 on Cunningham Road, right in the heart of Vasanth Nagar. It’s a very active part of town, so there is always something happening outside the windows. Shilpa Sindoor is basically just a group of us who enjoy the puzzle of planning and architecture. We don't have a receptionist in a suit; you usually just walk in and find one of us hunched over a drawing board or a screen. The office feels a bit cramped because we have so many samples of tiles, wood, and stone lying around the floor. We do a lot of planning work, which means we spend a lot of time dealing with city maps and local regulations. It can be a bit tedious, but it’s part of the process. The hum of the ceiling fans and the distant noise of Cunningham Road traffic provide the background music for our day. We’ve been in this building for a long time, and the walls are covered with sketches from past projects. Sometimes we stay late when a big deadline is looming, and we end up ordering food from the place down the street. It isn't a glamorous life, but there is a lot of satisfaction in seeing a plan finally get approved. We just take things one day at a time and try to stay organized, even when the paperwork starts piling up on our desks. It is just the way we have always done things here.
