Ram Lal Goyal Architect

If you’re looking for us, we are up on the first floor at House Number 218 in Sector 21-A. It’s a bit of a climb up the stairs, especially if you’re carrying a bunch of heavy samples or rolls of paper. Ram Lal has been at this for years, and the office reflects that. It’s filled with drafting boards that have seen better days but still work just fine for what we need. We don't use a lot of fancy software for every little thing; a lot of the initial thinking still happens with a pencil and a piece of tracing paper. The windows look out over the street, so we see the neighborhood life going by while we work. It’s a simple operation with just a few of us. We spend a lot of time checking local regulations and making sure everything is done by the book. Sometimes the printer jams right when we need it most, which leads to some frustrated grumbling, but we always get it sorted. There’s a small kitchenette in the back where we make tea, and that’s usually where the best ideas happen anyway. We aren't trying to be the biggest firm in the city, just a reliable place where people in Sector 21-A can get their plans drawn up without any fuss. The office is usually open early, and we stay until the light fades out or the work is finished for the day.
