Aashiyana Architects

We’ve been here at F-5 on Jamnalal Bajaj Marg for a while now. Most folks in C Scheme know the building. It’s just a small office where we handle drawing up plans for houses and sometimes small shops. It gets busy on Monday mornings, usually because of the weekend backlog. People walk in with some ideas on a piece of paper, and we try to make sense of it all. It’s not always easy, especially when the space is tight. We use the computers mostly, but sometimes a pencil and ruler still come out when we are just thinking things through. The tea guy across the street knows our order by heart because we’re here late quite often. It’s mostly just us sitting around tables covered in blueprints. If you come by, you’ll probably see a lot of rolled-up papers in the corners. We don't have a fancy waiting room or anything like that. Just some chairs and a lot of talk about walls and windows. Sometimes a project takes longer than expected because the site has some weird issues. That is just how it goes in this business. We try to keep things straightforward. No big speeches about art or anything. Just making sure a house stays up and looks okay. It’s a lot of calculating and checking the local rules. C Scheme has its own set of challenges with how old some spots are. We just keep at it, one drawing at a time, every single day.
