Deepak Vaidya Architects & Associates

We are located at 863, 1st Cross in Sadashiv Peth. It’s a busy neighborhood with a lot of history, and we’ve been part of it for a while. Our office is a bit of a maze with all the files and drawing boards we have shoved in there. Deepak and the rest of us work pretty closely on whatever comes through the door. We don't have a fancy lobby or anything like that. When you come in, you’re basically walking right into the workspace. There’s usually someone arguing about a structural detail or looking for a misplaced measuring tape. We do a lot of work in the local area, mostly helping people figure out how to make the most of their space. Sadashiv Peth has its own unique style, and we try to respect that in our designs. We spend plenty of time visiting sites, which means we’re often out in the heat or the rain checking on progress. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we know. We aren't big on corporate talk; we just tell people what will work and what won't. Sometimes we have to be blunt about a design that just isn't practical. It’s better to fix it on paper than when the concrete is already poured. We like the pace of things here. There’s always a tea stall nearby when we need a break from the drawings.
