Achal Kataria Architects

Our office is located at E-15 on the first floor in South Extension 1. We are right by Manav Hospital, so it’s a landmark most people in this part of Delhi know pretty well. Achal Kataria Architects is just a small team of us working here. The space is okay, enough room for our drafting tables and some computers. South Ex can get really crowded with all the shops and people around, but being on the first floor gives us a little bit of distance from the pavement noise. We spend a lot of our time sketching out ideas and checking over site plans for different buildings. It’s a lot of back and forth, making sure the measurements are right and the client is happy with the layout. We don’t have a big reception area or anything like that. When you walk in, you’re basically right in the middle of where we work. It’s an honest way to run a business, I think. We’ve been in this spot for a while now and we know the neighborhood well. Sometimes we grab tea from the stall nearby when we need a break from the screens. It’s just how we do things here in 110049. No big corporate vibes, just a bunch of people who know how to put a building together on paper and make sure it actually works in real life. It keeps us busy most days of the week, and we just keep plugging away at it.
