Anvam Architect

Anvam Architect is based over in Vile Parle West. We are at Plot No 60 in the Jai Hind Society. It’s a nice area with a lot of old trees and familiar faces. We’ve been operating from here for a bit, mostly focusing on local residential projects. The office is pretty informal. We don't wear suits or anything like that. We are usually in jeans, especially if we have to go to a site later. Our work involves a lot of back-and-forth with the municipal office and trying to make the most of the space we have. Space is tight in Mumbai, as everyone knows, so we have to be clever about it. We do the drawings, handle the technical bits, and talk to the people doing the actual building. It’s a lot of coordination. Sometimes things go smoothly, and other times we are waiting on materials or dealing with a plumbing issue that wasn't expected. We just take it as it comes. People in the society know us, and we often get neighbors dropping by just to ask a quick question about a renovation. It’s a community vibe here. We aren't trying to be a global firm; we just want to do good work for the people in our part of the city. That is basically what we do every day.
