Saran Architects

Our work space is located at No 37, Veerabadran Street in Nungambakkam. It is a busy street, and Saran Architects has been based here for a good number of years. The office is in an older building where the stairs are a bit narrow and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint. It feels like home to us, though. We have desks that are always covered in blueprints and pencil shavings. Nungambakkam is a great place to be because everything is so close, even if finding a place to park your car is almost impossible most days. We spend most of our time sketching out floor plans and talking to folks about what they want to build. It is not always easy or exciting work. There is a lot of sitting and thinking, followed by a rush to get things finished on time. We use computers for the final versions, but almost everything we do starts out as a rough drawing on a scrap of paper. We do not have a big corporate setup with fancy furniture. It is just a few of us doing our jobs. Sometimes the neighbors pop in to borrow a ruler or just to have a quick chat. We drink a lot of tea to keep us going during the day. If you come by, you might see us leaning over a table arguing about a roof design. It’s a practical place and we like being right here on Veerabadran Street.
