Design Group

We are based in Margao, specifically in the R.A. Apartments. Being in Goa is nice, but it isn’t all beaches and relaxing like people think. Design Group is mostly just us sitting in the office working through projects. The apartment we work out of is pretty standard for this part of town. We have our computers and some drafting tables set up where the light is best. Margao is a busy hub, so there is always noise from the street below, but we don't mind it much. It feels real. Sometimes we have to run out to get supplies or meet someone across town, and the heat can be a bit much in the afternoons. We aren't trying to be some big international firm. We just like making things look right and making sure the plans actually work when they get built. The team here is small, and we’ve known each other for a long time. We drink a lot of tea while we argue about where a door should go or what material to use. It’s not a polished corporate life. We have stacks of paper everywhere and sometimes the printer acts up when we are in a hurry. But we get the job done. That’s how it is here in Goa, you just keep at it until it’s finished.
