Prima Arch

We set up Prima Arch right across from Saint Annas School on Convent Road. It’s a busy spot when school lets out, with kids running everywhere and parents waiting in their cars. Our office is a bit of a sanctuary from all that noise. We’ve got drafting tables pushed up against the windows because the light is better there. It’s a simple setup, nothing like those fancy offices you see on TV. We have coffee rings on most of our documents, and the bin is usually full of discarded sketches. Architecture is a lot of trial and error, at least for us. We spend hours talking through ideas until something finally clicks. Sometimes we don’t agree on anything for the first half of the day. Convent Road has been our home for a long time, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. We know the teachers at the school and the shopkeepers nearby. It feels like we’re part of a community here. We don’t have a receptionist or anyone like that. If the phone rings, one of us just picks it up. We aren't interested in being a big corporate name. We just like designing things that make sense for the people who live here. It’s a lot of hard work and late nights sometimes, but it’s what we do for a living.
