Mandira Design Studio

You can find Mandira Design Studio over in the Ellickal Building, specifically at 34/147 A1 on Ellickal Moideen Road. We are tucked away in the lane right by the Kims Hospital parking area. It’s a bit of a specific spot to find if you haven't been here before. Our studio isn't very large, but it fits what we need. We spend most of our hours sitting around the main table going over designs. There’s usually a lot of scrap paper and half-empty coffee cups sitting around by noon. The lane outside gets quite busy with people heading to the hospital, so there is always a bit of life moving past our door. We don't have a big mission statement or anything like that. We just come in, open up the studio, and start working on whatever project is on the desk that morning. Some days it’s mostly computer work, and other days we are out visiting sites or talking to suppliers about materials. It’s a very hands-on kind of place. We like the neighborhood because it feels connected to the rest of Ernakulam, even if the parking lane can get a bit crowded during peak hours. The lights in the office are bright, and we keep the windows shut when the afternoon heat gets too much. It’s just a normal workplace where we focus on the jobs we’ve been given and try to stay productive.
