Ssal Space Solutions Architecture Lab

Our little lab is tucked away in Vishnupuri Extension-2. It’s a quiet enough street on Church Road until the school day ends at St. Fidelis nearby. Then it’s a lot of noise and cars and parents, but we don't mind it much. The house number is 3, right there in the Aliganj area. We call it a lab because we like to try out different ways of fitting things into small spaces. It’s more of a workshop feel than a corporate office. There are always pieces of materials lying around and sketches pinned to the walls with tape. We spend hours talking about where a window should go or how to make a kitchen feel less cramped. It’s all practical stuff for real houses. We don't use a lot of big words to explain things. If someone comes in, we just sit around the wooden table and look at the drawings together. Sometimes we stay late because a project is at a tricky stage, and the tea from the local stall helps us keep going through the evening. It’s a small team here, so everyone does a bit of everything, from drawing to checking on the brickwork. We know the neighbors and the local shops. It feels like being part of the community here. People stop by to ask questions about a renovation or just to see what we are working on that week. We just give them straight answers.
