Ar. B. L. Srivastava

Our office is over at Plot No.L-2/42-A in the DDA Flats in Alaknanda. It’s right in Kalkaji, tucked behind the Shiwalikh Apartment and just opposite the NRI Colony in G.K.-4. It sounds like a lot of directions, but once you’re here, it’s a nice little spot. Ar. B. L. Srivastava is the name on the board. We work out of one of the flats. It’s a bit cramped with all the drawings and papers everywhere, but it works for us. The area is quite residential, so it stays relatively calm compared to the main roads. We spend our days looking at designs and talking to people who come by with projects. It’s a bit of a maze getting through Alaknanda sometimes, but it’s a good location. We aren't a big firm with a lobby or a receptionist. If you knock on the door, one of us will just get up and let you in. We prefer it that way, honestly. It feels more personal. Being near G.K.-4 means there are plenty of places to grab a quick bite. We’ve been here long enough that the local security guards know us. We just keep our heads down and focus on the architecture work. It’s a simple life here in the flats. We have a lot of books stacked up and the balcony is full of old blueprints. It is just how we work.
