Aakriti Architect & Engineer

Our office is over in Gandhinagar, at 158 A, right across from where the Apsara Theater is. Most people in Jammu know the spot. We’re also quite close to the PDD office, which makes it easy to explain where we are when someone is calling for directions. At Aakriti Architect & Engineer, we do a bit of everything. We handle the drawings and the technical engineering stuff too. It’s usually just us and a few computers running all day. The office isn't anything special to look at, but it gets the job done. We spend a lot of time arguing over structural details or checking measurements. Sometimes a client comes in and we just sit and talk about their house over tea. We’ve lived in Jammu long enough to know how things work here. The 180004 area is busy, especially with the theater nearby, so there's always something happening outside the window. We don't use big words to describe our work. We just show up, look at the site, and try to build something that won't fall down or leak when it rains. It’s a practical job. We’ve got stacks of files and old site photos everywhere. It’s a bit cluttered, but we know where everything is. Building things in this city has its challenges, but we enjoy the process of seeing a project move from a piece of paper to a real structure without much trouble.
