Binesh Sukumar Architects Planners

Our office is way up on the 7th floor of Penta Towers in Kaloor. It’s a high building, so the view of the city is actually pretty good from up here. Binesh Sukumar Architects Planners has been based here for a long time. We have a lot of drawing boards and large printers taking up space. It gets quite cramped when we have big rolls of blueprints everywhere. People think being an architect is all about drawing pretty pictures, but mostly it's just checking rules and making sure walls don't fall down. We spend a lot of time on the computer these days, but we still like our pencils. Penta Towers is a busy place with lots of other offices, so the elevators can be slow in the morning. We are used to it. We don't have a fancy waiting room with expensive art. Just some chairs and a lot of models of buildings we’ve worked on. Kaloor is a central spot, so it’s easy for clients to find us, even if parking is a bit of a pain sometimes. We just focus on the plans and the planning. It’s a lot of detail work. We’ve been doing this for years and we just keep at it, one drawing at a time. It is a quiet office despite the city noise.
