Architects Collective

Architects Collective is located on the 2nd Floor in S B I Colony. We chose the name because we’re a group of people who like to work together on different projects. The office isn't anything special to look at from the outside. You have to walk up two flights of stairs to get to us. Once you’re inside, it’s just a big open room where everyone has their own desk. We don’t have walls between us, so there’s a lot of shouting questions across the room. It can get pretty loud when we’re all in at the same time. We have a lot of shared resources, like a big printer that occasionally jams and a library of technical books that we all use. The S B I Colony is a pretty quiet residential area, so it’s a nice contrast to our busy office. We often spend our lunch breaks walking around the colony just to get some air. We aren't a corporate firm with a board of directors. We’re just a collective of individuals trying to make good buildings. There are always rolls of tracing paper and empty coffee mugs sitting around. We don't worry about being perfectly tidy. We focus more on the collaboration and making sure the designs make sense. It’s a simple setup that works for the way we like to do things.
