Kapil Jain Architects

Our office is on the ground floor of the Lodha Complex, right at Court Chouraha in Udaipur. If you know the area, you know it gets quite crowded with people heading to the court or moving through the city center. We’ve been at 120 for some time, and the space is usually filled with rolls of paper and pencils that need sharpening. Being in Udaipur City means we see a lot of different kinds of buildings, and we spend our days trying to figure out how to make things fit into the local landscape. It’s not a quiet place because of the traffic outside, but we’ve gotten used to the noise. We sit around the table a lot, debating where a wall should go or how the light will hit a room in the afternoon. Most of our work is just practical stuff, making sure the measurements are right and the materials make sense for the weather here. Sometimes we have clients sitting with us for hours, just going over the same sketch until it looks okay. We don’t go for anything too flashy in the office itself. It’s a working space where things get done. We just focus on the projects in front of us and try to keep up with the pace of the city. There are usually folders stacked up on every available surface, and we’re constantly checking the latest rules for construction in Rajasthan.
