Arora Vijay Somnath Architect

You can find us at 345, Sec 22A. It’s a quiet street, mostly, which is good for the kind of work we do at Arora Vijay Somnath Architect. The office is really just a room filled with drafting tables and stacks of blueprints that never seem to get smaller. We aren't a big firm with hundreds of employees. It's more of a personal setup where things get done at a steady pace. Sometimes the light in the afternoon hits the desk just right, and it’s a nice place to sit and think about buildings. We don't have any big advertisements outside. Just a small plate with the name on it. Most of the people who come to see us are neighbors or people from around the sector. It’s a local way of doing things. There’s always a bit of dust on the models we keep on the shelves, and the pencils are usually worn down to stubs. We like being in Sec 22A because it’s out of the way of the main traffic. It allows for a bit of focus. When you work as an architect, you spend a lot of time looking at tiny details, so having a calm spot helps. We keep things pretty informal. If someone drops by, we pull up a chair and talk. It’s not about being impressive; it’s just about figuring out how to make a space work better for whoever is asking. That is really all there is to it.
