Jasbir Kaur Architect

Jasbir Kaur Architect operates out of H.No. 360 in Sector-40-A. It’s more of a home-based setup than a big commercial office, which suits the way work gets done here. The living room often doubles as a meeting space, and there are usually rolls of drawings leaning against the furniture. Sector-40-A is a quiet residential area, so it’s a good place for thinking and drawing without too many distractions. Jasbir is usually the one handling the technical side of things, while the rest of the day is filled with site visits or phone calls to contractors. It’s a hands-on kind of place. We don’t have a fancy lobby or a coffee machine that makes lattes. If you want tea, we just put the kettle on in the kitchen. The work is mostly about residential designs and making sure houses are sturdy. We deal with the local building codes and the usual headaches that come with construction. It’s not always glamorous. Sometimes we spend all day just checking one set of measurements to make sure they’re accurate. We’ve been doing this for a long time, and the neighbors are used to seeing us coming and going at odd hours. We don’t pretend to be anything we aren't. We just draw plans and help people get their homes built properly. It’s a steady, quiet way to work.
