_Opolis Architects

We are located on Aundh Road in Pune. It is a very busy stretch of road and there is always something happening outside the window. _Opolis is basically just a big room where a few of us sit and work on our designs. We have these large monitors that take up most of the desk space. The walls are mostly bare, except for a few old sketches we taped up months ago and never took down. We do not have a big sign out front or anything like that to grab attention. People usually find us because they already know the address. Working on Aundh Road means you hear the constant horns and the traffic all day long, but it is a good energy to have. We start early in the morning and sometimes stay way too late because a project is due the next day. There is always a pile of mail near the door that nobody really wants to open. We use a lot of butter paper and felt-tip pens for the initial ideas before we move to the computers. It is a messy process. The chairs are not the most comfortable things in the world, but they do the job. We are not trying to impress anyone with a sleek or modern office. We just want enough light to see what we are drawing on the screen. Most days involve a lot of staring and occasionally going out for tea.
