Murty & Manyam Architects & Engineers, Hyderabad.

Our office is on the second floor over in Kukatpally, specifically EWS 858 on 3rd Road. It’s a busy part of Hyderabad. Being architects and engineers means there is always a lot of drawing and measuring going on. The space isn't huge, but it fits the desks and the computers we need for the design work. Sometimes the traffic on 3rd road gets really loud during rush hour. We spend most of our mornings looking over site plans or talking to contractors on the phone. It's a lot of back and forth. The K.P.H.P area has changed a lot since we first set up here. More buildings going up every month. We take the stairs up to the second floor every morning, usually carrying rolls of paper. It gets quite warm in the afternoons so the fans are always running. We don't have a receptionist or anything fancy like that. If you walk in, you'll probably just see one of us hunched over a desk. We’ve worked on many different structures around the city and outside too. It’s practical work. We like being in this part of town because it’s central for most of our projects. There’s a tea stall nearby where we go when we need a break from the screen. That's pretty much the daily routine for us here in Kukatpally. We keep things simple and just focus on the plans we have in front of us. It’s a lot of drafting and checking numbers all day, but that is what we do.
