Suave Engineering

Suave Engineering is tucked away in the Ornate Apartments at Plot No. 29. It’s a bit of an unusual spot for an engineering outfit, being in an apartment building, but it works for us. Our office is in 202, and it’s mostly filled with desks, computers, and rolled-up drawings. It’s a quiet place compared to a big factory, which is good because we have to focus on the details of the projects we are handling. We started out small and stayed that way because we like being able to talk to each other across the room without needing to send emails. When you walk in, you’ll see a lot of reference books and maybe some samples sitting on the windowsills. We don't have a receptionist, so usually, one of the engineers just looks up and says hello. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere. We wear jeans and comfortable shoes because we’re often out visiting sites when we aren't at our desks. Living and working in this kind of setting makes the whole business feel more personal. We know our neighbors and the people downstairs. We aren't trying to be the biggest firm in the city. We just want to do our engineering work properly and make sure the designs are solid. It’s a simple setup that keeps us focused on the tasks at hand. There's a small balcony where we sometimes take a break to get some air, though it mostly overlooks the parking area. We don't have any fancy software that does the work for us; it’s all about the experience of the people sitting at the desks. We're just glad to have a steady place to do our work.
