Ira Architects

You can find us over in Karkhana, right on the main road at Plot No 23. We are situated right beside Vaks Bakery, which is a bit of a problem because the smell of fresh bread and cakes is always wafting into our office. It’s hard to stay focused when you’re hungry. The road outside is always busy with traffic moving towards Secunderabad or the other way. We are architects, so our space is filled with various models and a lot of drawing equipment. It’s a straightforward office setup on the main road, nothing hidden away. We have some old wooden desks that have seen better days, but they are sturdy and hold all our heavy books. Sometimes the dust from the street gets in, so we are always wiping down our screens. We don't have a receptionist or a lobby; you just walk in and we are there working. It's a very functional space for us. We’ve got some sketches pinned to the walls and a few half-empty coffee mugs scattered around. People usually drop by after seeing the bakery. The building is a bit older, and you can hear the rain on the roof quite clearly when it pours. It’s a decent spot to spend the day, and we are used to the constant sound of the traffic outside. It has become a sort of background noise that we don't even notice anymore.
