Studio Idea Architects

We’re tucked away in Office No. 353 in Sector 37. It’s a decent-sized room where we keep all our drafting boards and computers. The walls are mostly covered with old drawings and some photos of buildings we’ve worked on over the years. It’s not a corporate environment. We usually have the radio on low and someone is always making a fresh pot of tea. Sector 37 is a familiar place for us, and we like being part of the neighborhood. Most of our work involves sitting down with people and sketching out ideas on pieces of scrap paper. We don't use much fancy jargon. If a roof is going to leak because of a certain design, we’ll tell you straight. Our desks are usually buried under piles of blueprints and half-finished models made of cardboard. It’s a hands-on kind of place. We spend a lot of time out of the office too, visiting sites and talking to the guys doing the actual building. It’s important to see how things are looking on the ground. We’ve had this office for a bit now, and it’s become a second home for us. People know they can just drop by if they have a question about a renovation or a new build. We just keep it simple and focus on the drawings themselves. It's a good way to spend the day, working on something real for the local community.
