Ravi Prakash Architects

Ravi Prakash Architects is up on the second floor of the Dhan Nirman Complex. The address is S-1, 15 Ashok Mg. It’s a busy road, so there’s always the sound of traffic coming through the windows. Being on the second floor means we get a bit of a view, though mostly it’s just other buildings and the street below. The complex is a bit older, and our office reflects that. We have our drafting tables set up where the light is best. It’s not a large team, just a few of us working on various architectural plans. We don't have a receptionist, so when someone walks in, they usually just walk right into where we’re working. We spend a lot of our time going over structural details and making sure everything is up to code. It’s a lot of sitting and drawing, then a lot of standing and looking at site photos. We use Ashok Mg as our base and it works out well for getting around to different parts of the city. The office is pretty basic with just the essentials like computers, a printer, and too many rolls of tracing paper. We don't try to impress anyone with a fancy lobby. We just want to get the work done and make sure the plans are solid. It can get pretty quiet when we’re all focused, but then we’ll have a long talk about a specific stair detail or a roof line.
