J T Vatnani Navin Vatnani Architects

We've been at Swastik Plaza in Juhu Dalia Estate for a while now. It’s office number 51. Our team here is basically J T Vatnani and Navin Vatnani, and we just spend most of our days looking at drawings and talking to people about their buildings. The office gets a bit messy sometimes with all the rolled-up papers and coffee mugs sitting around on the desks. We don't really go for anything fancy in here. It’s a practical space. People drop by to talk about their house plans or maybe a shop they’re fixing up. Juhu is a busy area so there is always some noise from the street coming up to the office. We usually start quite early and stay late if there's a lot to get through. It’s just how it goes in this line of work. Sometimes the printer acts up and we have to spend half an hour fixing it before we can show a client what we're thinking. It’s not like those big corporate firms you see on TV. We just do the work as it comes in. Most of our clients come from word of mouth or people just seeing the sign outside. We like staying local. If you’re around Swastik Plaza, you’ll probably see one of us grabbing a quick snack downstairs. It is a straightforward place where we try to get things right on paper before any bricks get moved. We just keep our heads down and try to do a decent job every single day.
