Skala Architects

If you are driving down Sitapur Road in Lucknow, you’ll find us over in Maharishi Nagar. We are right opposite the university, which makes it easy to find. The office is out near IIM Road, so there is always some traffic around, but it’s a good spot for us. We spend most of our time working on architectural plans and trying to get the details right. It’s not always easy, especially when the weather gets hot and we have to visit sites. We started this because we liked building things, and now we just spend our days looking at blueprints and talking to contractors. Sometimes things go smoothly, and other times we have to fix mistakes that pop up during construction. That's just how it is in this line of work. We don't have a big corporate team, just a few of us here making sure the projects move along. We sit in the office and sketch out ideas, then we go out to see if those ideas actually work on the lot. It’s practical work. We try to be honest about what’s possible with a budget. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years. Being near the university keeps things lively. We just focus on the task at hand and try to get the drawings done on time so the workers can get started.
