Varsha Shah Architech & Interior Designer

Our work space is located at F13 in Khatodara. It’s a bit of a mix between an office and a workshop. Varsha Shah Architech & Interior Designer is where Varsha spends most of her time surrounded by samples of wood, bits of fabric, and catalogs that are falling apart from being flipped through so much. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us working on drawings and talking to contractors. The office isn't particularly tidy, as there are always sketches pinned to the walls and color swatches scattered across every flat surface we have. We like it that way because it feels like we are actually making something. People come to us when they want to change their homes or offices, and we spend hours just talking through what will work and what won't. We aren't interested in the latest trends just for the sake of it. We prefer things that actually function well and last. Sometimes we have disagreements with the builders about how a certain corner should be finished, and those can get a bit loud, but it’s all part of the job. We drink a lot of coffee to keep ourselves going, especially when a project is nearing the end and the pressure is on. The windows are usually dusty from the nearby construction, but we don't mind. It’s a busy place and we just focus on getting the next drawing done right.
