M B Bankar Architects

M B Bankar Architects is based at Parvati H/6. It’s an older part of the city, and our office feels like it’s been part of the neighborhood for a long time. We aren’t located in a shiny new business park with security guards and glass elevators. Instead, we’re in a simple building where we know the people in the next office over. The space is a bit small, so we have to be careful not to trip over the boxes of old blueprints that are stacked near the entrance. We have a couple of computers that have seen better days, but they still get the job done. The walls have some marks where we’ve moved furniture around over the years. Most of our mornings are spent on the phone with contractors or checking on material deliveries. We don't have a big staff, so whoever is closest to the phone usually picks it up. Parvati is a nice place to work, though finding parking can be a bit of a nightmare sometimes. We usually have a radio playing quietly in the background, mostly just for some noise while we work through the technical drawings. It’s an unpretentious setup. We don't go in for fancy presentations. We just print out the plans, grab our measuring tapes, and get to work on whatever needs to be done that day. It is just how we have always done things.
