Design Group

Our office is at 6, Knk Road in Nungambakkam. Most people know this road for all the fancy shops and the crowds, but our spot at Design Group is a bit more settled. It’s an older building compared to some of the new glass ones popping up around us. When you come inside, the first thing you notice is probably the books and the sketches pinned up everywhere. It’s not a showroom; it’s more like a workshop where things are actually getting made. We have some plants in the corner that we try to keep alive, though sometimes we forget to water them when things get hectic. The desks are large because we need the space to spread out drawings and plans. It’s a lot of sitting and focusing. Sometimes the bells from the nearby temple or the noise from the school kids nearby drifts in. We don’t have a fancy coffee machine, just a regular pot and some mugs that don't match. People come by to talk about their projects, and we usually sit around the big table in the middle. The floor is a bit scuffed from moving chairs around. It’s a comfortable place to spend the day. We aren't trying to impress anyone with the decor. We just like having a space that works for us and the people who visit us here in Nungambakkam. It’s our home away from home where the work actually gets done every single day.
