Ashutosh Pokharna Architect

Ashutosh Pokharna Architect is located over in Sadashiv Peth, right near the Mumbai Bangalore Highway. Our exact spot is Survey No 1511 on Tilak Road. Being so close to the highway means there is a lot of movement and noise around us all the time. The office is a modest space where we keep our drawing boards and a few computers. It gets quite bright in the mornings when the sun hits the front windows, which is nice until it gets too hot in the afternoon. We have a lot of books on the shelves, mostly about old buildings and local history, though they are mostly covered in a thin layer of dust now. Sadashiv Peth is a traditional neighborhood, so there are always people walking around and small shops doing business right outside our door. We’ve gotten used to the rhythm of the place over the years. The team here is small, just a few of us who know each other’s habits and how we like our tea in the mornings. We don't have a big sign outside, just a small one that people sometimes miss if they are driving too fast down Tilak Road. We spend our days measuring things, drawing lines, and talking to clients who drop by to see how things are coming along. It’s a basic, honest way to earn a living and we enjoy the work we do here. There is always something new to look at on the street.
