My office is Shop No F 9 in the Optionz Shop Plaza. You can find me on Nahar Amrit Shakti Road in Chandivali. I am right across the street from the D Mart, which is a very easy landmark for everyone to find. It is just a small shop where I do all my architectural and design work. I have lived and worked around the Andheri East area for a long time. The plaza is usually full of people doing their daily shopping. Inside my office, it is a bit more quiet. I spend my time drawing up plans and talking to people about what they want for their homes. I don't have a big team of assistants or a polished showroom. It is just me doing the work myself. I like to handle every part of a project personally, from the very first sketch to the final details. Being here in Chandivali means I see a lot of the new buildings coming up. People stop by looking for help with a new apartment or maybe fixing up an old shop front. I don't use a lot of complicated words to explain my ideas. I just try to make the space work well for whoever is going to live there. It is about being practical. Sometimes I am out at a site, so the shop might be closed for a bit. That is just how it works.
