at 'integrated architects and designers', mumbai.

We are located over in Mira Road East, specifically in Sector-10 of Shantinagar. If you know the area, you know it’s a bit of a trek from the main station, but it’s a good, solid neighborhood. Our office is in building B/27, on the fourth floor, room 402. It’s a typical Mira Road apartment block where some units have been converted into small businesses. We have been here for a while, and the walls are mostly covered with old project photos and a few shelves full of thick binders. It gets pretty busy during the week with people coming in and out. The commute for some of us involves the local trains or those shared rickshaws that zip around Shantinagar. Inside the office, things are pretty casual. We don't wear suits or anything like that. We spend most of our day hunched over monitors or looking at large printouts on the main table. There is always a lot of chatter about building codes and site visits. Sometimes the monsoon rain hits the windows pretty hard, and we have to make sure no water gets near the drawings. It is a bit cramped when we have a few visitors, but we just pull up extra stools. We keep things straightforward here. There is no front desk person to greet you, usually just one of us looking up from a desk to see who walked in. It is a decent place to work and stay connected to the local building scene and the people around us.
