Patzschke Architecture & Urban Design

We have our office set up here in Taleigao, specifically in the Santissimo Waddo area. It's a quiet enough spot for the most part, right at C-17/247. Being in Goa means we deal with a lot of local regulations and specific styles that people around here like. Our team spends a lot of time at their desks or out on-site looking at how things are coming along. It isn't always glamorous work. There is a lot of back-and-forth with contractors and making sure the measurements are right on the paper before any bricks get laid. Most mornings start with a quick check of the emails and then getting into the urban design side of things. We’ve been at this address for a while now and the locals know where to find us. Sometimes the weather makes it hard to get out to the sites, but that's just how it goes in this part of India. We don't have a big fancy lobby or anything like that. It's just a workspace where we try to get the drawings done correctly. People drop by mostly to talk about their house plans or how a specific plot of land can be used better. It gets busy, especially when several projects are starting at once. We just keep our heads down and focus on the technical details. Architecture takes a lot of patience and many small corrections that nobody ever sees in the final building. We like it here in Taleigao and the neighborhood is good for our work.
