Effictive Architectural Services, Panaji ,Goa

Our office, which is called Effictive Architectural Services, is based in Taleigao. That is a much quieter part of Panaji compared to the city center. We are located in a house called Sumati Kunj, which is house number 512 / B in the Vodlem Bhatt area. It doesn't really feel like a cold, corporate office because it’s basically part of a regular residence. We have our drawing boards and computers set up in a room that gets plenty of good sunlight in the mornings. Being in Goa, the pace of work is a little different than the big metros. We spend a lot of time looking at site plans and drawing out house designs for local projects. The neighborhood is mostly residential with a lot of trees and greenery all around the building. Sometimes the neighbor’s dog won't stop barking while we are trying to be on the phone, but that’s just how it is around here. We aren't a huge firm with dozens of architects. It’s just a few of us who know how to put a building together on paper. We’ve got rolls of blueprints tucked into every corner and half-finished models sitting on the shelves. It’s a bit cluttered, but we know exactly where everything is. People usually just come by to talk about their new house or a small renovation. It's a very local way of doing things without any corporate polish.
