Samyak Architects & Design

We sit here at Kothrud Criceket Vada Pole Naka 14 and most days it’s just the sound of pencils scratching on paper. Samyak Architects & Design is really just a few of us sitting around desks. The office is right by the cricket area, so there’s always kids running around or people shouting during a match. It’s a bit chaotic outside but inside we try to keep things organized, even if the shelves are overflowing with old files. The windows let in a decent amount of light, but they also let in the dust from the road. You get used to it after a while. We have this old table that’s been with us since the beginning. It’s got scratches all over it from years of use. Usually, there’s a stack of blueprints in the corner that nobody has touched in months. We drink a lot of tea from the shop down the street. It’s just how things go here at Naka 14. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit and talk until it comes back. There isn't anything fancy about the space. We just show up, do the drawings, and handle the phone calls. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint but we haven't gotten around to it yet. If you come by, you’ll probably see us hunched over the drafting boards or arguing about where a wall should go. We have been in this part of Kothrud for a bit and we like the vibe.
