Dahiya Ankita Architect

Dahiya Ankita Architect is based at 6199 in the Modern Housing Complex in Manimajra. It’s a small office that Ankita runs, and it has a very personal feel to it. We aren't a big company with levels of management. It’s usually just a couple of us working through the projects. The office is located in a residential complex, so it’s a bit quieter than being in the city center, which we appreciate. We spend our days drawing, looking at plans, and talking to clients about their ideas. There are always rolls of paper and various pens and rulers lying around. It’s a functional space, not a showroom. We don't really do much in the way of marketing. Usually, someone sees a building we’ve worked on or hears about us from a neighbor and then they give us a call. We like that word-of-mouth way of working. It keeps things grounded. Manimajra is a nice place to be, and being in the housing complex means we’re close to the people we’re often designing for. Sometimes we stay late to finish a drawing, and other times we’re out on a dusty site checking on the foundation. It’s a lot of manual work and paying attention to small details that other people might miss. We just try to be practical and do the job as best as we can without making things too complicated. It’s been this way for a while now and it suits us.
