Hemant Khire Architect & Interior Designers

We’ve been over here at 12/A/2 Shanta Durga Co-Operative Housing Society for quite a while now. It’s a busy spot, mostly because it’s a residential area where everyone knows each other. Being Hemant Khire Architect & Interior Designers means we spend a lot of our day surrounded by piles of paper and fabric swatches. It gets messy in the office, especially when we’re trying to figure out where a wall should go or what kind of tiles won't show the dirt too much. We aren't a big firm with fancy suits. Most days it’s just us figuring out how to make a small kitchen work better or drawing up plans that the city won't reject. People drop by without calling sometimes, which is fine since we’re usually here anyway. Designing things isn’t always about those glossy photos you see in magazines. It’s a lot of measuring twice and still worrying if the sofa will fit through the front door. We handle the drawings and the interior stuff right here from our desk in the society. Sometimes the neighbors pop in to ask for a quick opinion on a paint color. It’s just how things go around here. We try to keep things practical because, at the end of the day, someone has to actually live in the spaces we draw. It's a lot of work, but we like being part of the neighborhood.
