Vivek Shankar Design Partnership

The Vivek Shankar Design Partnership operates out of No. 139/B in Sadashivanagar. We are on the second floor of a building on 10th Main, RMV Extension. It is a pretty nice area, mostly residential and quite green compared to the rest of Bangalore. We are near Mechri Circle, so that is how we usually tell people to find us. Being on the second floor gives us a bit of a view of the trees outside. The office is basically just a big room where we have our drafting tables and computers set up. It is not a very formal place. There are always coffee mugs and rolls of paper sitting around. We spend a lot of time talking about designs and looking at site plans. It’s a small group of us here, and we’ve been working together in this spot for a while. The walk up the stairs is good exercise, I suppose. The neighborhood is generally quiet, which helps when we need to concentrate on the finer details of a drawing. We don't really go in for big marketing or fancy presentations. Most of the time, we are just sitting there in our jeans, trying to figure out how to make a layout work properly. It is a relaxed atmosphere, even when we have a lot of work piled up on our desks. We just take it one project at a time.
