SHANKAR NARAYAN ARCHITECTS

We have our office over at 32 Moti Valley in the Tirumalagiri area. It’s a pretty quiet spot most of the time, which is good when you’re trying to focus on drawings or looking over site plans for a new project. We’ve been here for a while now, just doing the regular work that comes with being architects. Most of our days are spent at our desks, which are usually covered in rolls of paper, pens, and half-empty coffee cups. It isn't a very fancy setup, but it works for what we do. People from around the neighborhood stop by to talk about their houses or maybe a shop they want to build. We just sit down and listen to what they have in mind. It is not always exciting work; some days it’s just double-checking measurements or dealing with paperwork that seems to never end. Being in Tirumalagiri, we’ve gotten to know how things work around here pretty well. We don't really go for the big marketing talk or anything like that. We just tell people what is possible and what might be a problem later on. If a design doesn't look right, we say so and try to fix it. We are just a small team trying to keep things straightforward and honest. Sometimes it gets a bit loud in the office when we are all talking at once, but we usually manage to get everything sorted out by the end of the day.
