Ashsha Architect & Interior

Ashsha Architect & Interior is right here on the first floor at 26/161St Floorpoonamallee High Road. Being on a high road means it’s always busy outside, but once you step inside, it’s mostly just the sound of pens on paper. We’ve been doing this for a number of years. We do the architecture side and the interior design too, because it’s hard to do one without the other. If you change a wall, you change the room. We aren't big on corporate talk or trying to sound like we’re from a magazine. We’re just regular people who know how to draw buildings. Some days we spend more time on the phone with contractors than we do drawing. It’s a lot of coordination. We like the challenge of making a small space work. Poonamallee High Road is a landmark for us, and people find it easy to drop by. Our office is a bit crowded with rolls of paper and old models we made. We don't clean up just to impress people. We’d rather spend that time finishing a project. We’ve seen a lot of changes in how people want their homes to look, but the basics stay the same. You need good light, a solid roof, and enough space to move around. We focus on that. It isn't always glamorous work, but it’s satisfying when a project finally gets finished and someone moves in. It works for us.
