Time Architecture

Finding us near Limda Chowk in Karve Nagar can be a bit of a challenge if you don't know the area. The address is 47 2 1 A, and it sits right where the traffic usually starts to pile up in the evenings. Our office is a busy little spot. We have desks pushed against the walls to make enough room for the large printers and the tables where we spread out the blueprints. There’s always a bit of dust coming in from the road, and the sound of horns is pretty much constant, but you get used to it after a week or two. We spend our hours staring at lines on screens and trying to make sure every inch is accounted for. It’s not a shiny corporate office with a lobby. It’s more of a workshop where we get our hands dirty with site visits and long hours of planning. Sometimes the electricity cuts out for a minute and we all have to wait for the backup to kick in, which gives us a chance to stretch our legs. The walls are covered in old sketches and notes we scribbled down during meetings. It’s a lived-in space. We focus on the practical side of things, making sure the measurements work and the structures make sense. People come by with ideas, and we try to put those ideas onto paper without making it more complicated than it needs to be.
