kipa architects

You'll find kipa architects over in Vijay Nagar, which is in the Pimpri area of Pune. We’ve been operating out of this neighborhood for some time now. It’s not a very big team, just a few of us who like to design buildings and figure out how to make them stand up. Our office is a pretty simple setup. We spend most of our mornings drinking coffee and looking over blueprints, then the afternoons are usually spent out on sites around Pimpri and Chinchwad. It’s a lot of coordination with builders and making sure the dimensions are right. We don't really go for the high-end, polished image. We’re more about the practical side of architecture. If a client wants something that isn't going to work, we tell them straight up. It saves everyone a lot of trouble later on. The traffic in Pune 17 can be a bit much sometimes, so we try to schedule our site visits carefully. We’ve done all sorts of small projects, from room additions to small office layouts. It’s a lot of sketching and erasing until we get it right. We don't have a big fancy website or anything, just our work and the people who know us. We just keep our heads down and focus on the bricks and mortar. It’s a living, and we quite like it. Sometimes we make mistakes on the drawings, but we always fix them before the concrete is poured.
