Imaginative Design

Imaginative Design is tucked away in Jadavpur, specifically at Flat No. 3, D Block A, No. 51 Central Road. It’s a residential building, so it feels more like a home than a sterile office. We like it that way. You have to walk up the stairs and past the other neighbors' doors to find us. Inside, it’s mostly computers and rolls of drawings scattered across the tables. Central Road is usually humming with the sound of autos and students from the university nearby. We get a lot of tea from the stall downstairs because their kettle is always hot and it's easy to run down. The rooms in the flat are a bit small, and we’ve had to get creative with how we cram all our desks in. Sometimes the sun hits the windows in the afternoon and makes it too hot to work comfortably, so we pull the curtains and just keep going. We aren’t a giant firm with a front desk or a lobby. If you come by, you’ll probably see one of us trying to fix the printer or arguing about a layout. Jadavpur is a good place to be because there is always something happening outside. We’ve been in this D Block spot for a bit, and the walls are starting to need a bit of paint, but the work gets done regardless. It’s a practical space for us to sit and think about our projects together.
