Edifice Design Studio

We are over at the International Market on Sevoke Road. If you find the Lions Clock Tower near Pani Tanki, you are pretty much there. Edifice Design Studio is our little corner of Siliguri where we play around with ideas and designs. The office is usually full of sketches and coffee mugs. It is a creative space, but it is also very grounded. We don’t think of ourselves as high-end artists. We are more like builders who use pencils first. The market outside is always noisy and full of people, but once you step inside our studio, things settle down a bit. We spend a lot of time talking about how to make buildings look decent and function well. We don't use a lot of jargon. If a wall needs to be somewhere, we explain why. We’ve been here in the 734001 area for some time and we’ve seen the city grow up around us. It is interesting to be part of that. We aren't a big corporation with branches everywhere. We are just here on Sevoke Road, doing our bit. Sometimes we get stuck on a design for hours, and other times it comes together in minutes. That is just the nature of what we do. We don't have a fancy mission statement. We just like to design things that make sense for the people who use them every day. It is a good way to spend our time and earn a living.
