Designex Architects & Interior Designers

The office is inside Flat No.2 at Lake View Apartments in Raman Mala. It is a quiet spot in Tarabai Park, right near the D.Y. Patil Girls Hostel. Since we are in a residential building, it feels more like a home than a workplace. We have some desks set up and plenty of samples of tiles and wood scattered around the rooms. Designex Architects & Interior Designers has been operating from this flat for a while now. Most days, we are busy sketching out ideas or looking at samples under the light from the window. The view of the lake is nice, though we usually have the curtains drawn to keep the Kolhapur sun out. We don't have a big reception desk or a secretary greeting people. Usually, someone just yells come in when they hear the doorbell. It gets a bit messy when we have big projects going on, with rolls of paper everywhere and half-empty cups of coffee. We spend a lot of time on the phone with contractors or driving out to sites around Kolhapur to check on things. It is just a group of us who enjoy putting things together. We don't use big words to describe what we do. We just look at a space and try to figure out where the cupboards should go or how to make the living room feel bigger.
