3Rd Eye Architects

Out here in Alambagh, things are always moving fast and it stays pretty loud. Our shop is number 565/175 on the New Srinagar side, right near the Alambagh Road. If you know where Mukesh Dept Store is, you can find us easily. It’s a bit of a crowded area, but that’s just the way this part of Lucknow is. We’ve been working from this spot for quite a while now. The office isn't anything special to look at, just some desks, chairs, and a lot of computers running design software. We spend a lot of time dealing with the reality of building in old neighborhoods where space is tight. The streets are narrow and the houses are close together, so you have to be smart about how you design things so there is still light. It is mostly us talking to homeowners who want to add a floor or fix up an old family house. We hear the traffic outside all day long. Sometimes we have to step out to the street just to get a bit of air. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that. You just walk in and talk to whoever isn't buried under a pile of site reports. It’s a bit chaotic some days, especially when three different contractors call at once. But we like the pace. It’s honest work, and we see our designs actually getting built right down the street or in the next lane.
