Kaur Nardeep Architect

Our office is out in Vpo-Ramgarh, right on Chandigarh Road. It’s a bit away from the main city rush, which we actually like. Kaur Nardeep Architect is the name on the board outside. It’s a house that we’ve converted into a workspace. It has a bit of a homey feel to it because of that. We have our drawing boards set up in the main room. There are plenty of pencils and rulers lying around. It’s a creative space, but a messy one. We don't worry about keeping everything perfectly tidy while we are in the middle of a design. There’s a small garden outside where we sometimes sit if the weather is nice. Being on Chandigarh Road makes it easy for people to find us, even if they are just passing through. We handle various building designs and site visits. Most of our day is spent sketching or looking at site photos. We have a small kitchen where we make our own tea. It’s a relaxed atmosphere here. We don’t have a receptionist, so you might have to shout a bit if we are in the back room. It’s just the way we operate. People in the village know us well. It’s a good spot to work from because it’s quiet enough to think but close enough to the road to stay connected. The road outside gets busy during the morning rush, but then it settles down. We have an old dog that sometimes sleeps on the porch. He’s become a bit of a mascot for the place here.
