Ratan J Batliboi Architects

We have been based out of this flat in Nestle Apartments for a while now. Worli is a busy place, especially around Dr. P.B. Marg, and you can always hear the city moving outside the windows of Flat 311. It is not a flashy glass building, just a regular residential setup turned into a workspace. Inside, it’s mostly just desks covered in rolls of paper and various folders. Most mornings start with the staff coming in through the main gate and checking in with the security before heading up. We spend a lot of time on our computers here, working through various architectural drawings and talking to contractors on the phone. Sometimes the lift in 1-C is a bit slow, so we end up taking the stairs. The space is a bit tight when everyone is in at once, but we make it work. Lunch usually happens at the desks or someone goes out to grab something from the local shops nearby. It’s a quiet enough spot once you close the door, though you can still hear the traffic from the Sea Link side if the wind is right. We don’t have a big fancy lobby or anything, just a door with the name on it. Most of the people around here are families living their lives, so we try to keep the noise down. The afternoon sun hits the balcony area around 3 PM, making it a good time for a quick tea break before getting back to the screens. It’s a simple office for a group of people who just enjoy drawing and planning.
