Thiva Architect

Thiva Architect is a small setup over at 12 Ellaiamman Street. It’s a quiet enough street, which is nice when you’re trying to concentrate on floor plans. We don’t have a massive team or a huge office with a lobby. It’s just a straightforward space where we do our architectural work. Most of the time, it’s just the sound of someone drafting or the phone ringing. We like it that way. It keeps things simple and focused. We’ve been at 12 Ellaiamman Street for a bit now, and we’ve gotten to know the neighborhood. People stop by sometimes just to ask questions about a renovation or a new build. We don’t use any of that complicated industry language. We just explain things as they are. If a project is going to be difficult, we say so. Architecture involves a lot of waiting for approvals and dealing with paperwork, so we spend a lot of time on that too. It’s not just about drawing pretty houses. There is a lot of math and local rules we have to follow. Our office is filled with books and old projects we’ve finished over the years. It’s a bit lived-in, but it works for us. We just want to do a solid job on every project that comes through our door. We take our time and make sure the drawings are as accurate as they can be. It is a slow process sometimes, but we do not mind that.
