Laxman Solanki Interior & Architect

Our office for Laxman Solanki Interior & Architect is inside 84 Rajeshree Apartments on V Road. It is a bit of a walk up if you aren't used to it, and the hallway can be a little dark sometimes. Inside, it’s mostly just us working around two big tables that we’ve had for years. There are always pieces of laminate and fabric swatches scattered around because we are constantly looking at different materials. The walls have some old drawings pinned up, mostly stuff that we finished a long time ago but just liked the look of. We don't have a big staff, so it is usually just a couple of us here talking about how to fit everything into a small room or dealing with a plumbing issue on a site. The traffic on V Road can be a nightmare during the evening, so we usually end up staying a bit late to let the cars clear out. We drink a lot of water from the cooler in the corner and keep a stash of biscuits for when things get busy. It is a practical workspace, not a showroom, so there are usually some boxes in the way and the printer makes a loud clicking noise every time it starts up. We just focus on the drawings and making sure the measurements are right on the paper. Sometimes we sit on the balcony for a minute just to get some air.
