Techno Design

Our office is tucked away over at Ashok Ashram. It’s a quiet enough spot, which is good because designing things requires a lot of sitting and thinking. Techno Design isn't some massive corporation with glass walls and fancy suits. It’s mostly just us sitting at our desks, staring at screens until our eyes get a bit tired. We have stacks of papers and blueprints everywhere. Sometimes it’s hard to find a clear spot on the table to put down a cup of tea. We started this because we liked the technical side of how things are put together. Most days involve a lot of back and forth with people who have an idea but aren't sure how to make it work on paper. We spend a lot of time measuring and re-measuring because a small mistake early on makes a mess later. The computers are always humming in the background. It gets a bit warm in the afternoons when the sun hits the side of the building, so we usually have the fan going full blast. We don't have a receptionist, so if the phone rings, whoever is closest just picks it up. It’s a practical way to work. We just focus on the drawings and the specifications and try to keep everything organized, even if the office looks a bit cluttered to an outsider. It’s our space and it works for what we need to do every day.
