Malhotra Naina Architect

You can find us at number 362 in Rose Park. It is a decent spot, quite close to the Gulab Devi Hospital Road, which means there is always a bit of life and movement nearby. Naina started this practice with just a couple of tables and a lot of patience. The office itself is not very large, but we managed to fit everything we need into the space. Most of our days are spent leaning over drawings or answering the phone when someone from the neighborhood calls about a new project. The walk from the hospital road can be a bit dusty in the summer, but Rose Park stays relatively calm compared to the main market areas. We have a few plants by the window, though they don't always get enough water when we are busy with deadlines. People often drop by because they saw the sign while heading toward the hospital. It’s a very local way of doing things. We don't have a big receptionist or a glossy waiting room. Usually, you just walk in and find us working on the latest set of house plans. We drink a lot of water and try to keep the fans going to beat the heat. It’s a simple life here at the office. We deal with the city council paperwork and the site visits just like everyone else. The files are piled up on the floor because the shelves are already full of old blueprints from years ago.
