Aakruti Architects

We’ve been working out of Bibwewadi Sahar for a while now. It’s a busy spot but we like it here. Most days you’ll find us at our desks surrounded by rolls of paper and half-finished coffee mugs. We do architectural work, mostly local stuff, and we try to get things right the first time though there’s always a bit of back and forth with every project. People come to us when they have a plot or a house they want to fix up. We spend a lot of time looking at site plans and talking to contractors on the phone. It’s not always glamorous. Sometimes the site visits are dusty and the deadlines get tight. We aren't a big firm with fancy receptionists, just a small team trying to draw up buildings that actually work for the people living in them. We know the local rules around here pretty well which helps. If you walk past our office you might see us arguing over a measurement or just staring at a screen. It’s just how we work. We don’t really do big flashy presentations. Usually, it’s just a conversation about what you need and how much space you’ve got. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years. We just keep doing our thing, one drawing at a time. It’s steady work and we enjoy the puzzles that come with different sites.
