Mehul Panchal Architect

My office is located in Alkapuri Jetalpur, specifically at 301. It’s a busy part of the city, and I like the energy of it. Being an architect here means I get to work on a variety of different spaces, from old renovations to new builds. I’ve always preferred a more hands-on approach. You won’t find much corporate polish here. My desk is usually covered in crumbs and ink stains, and there are stacks of magazines everywhere for inspiration. I spend a lot of time thinking about how people actually use their rooms. It’s one thing to draw a pretty picture, but it’s another thing entirely to make a kitchen that actually works for a family. I’ve had my fair share of long nights trying to get a layout just right. Sometimes the ideas come easy, and other times I’m just staring at a blank sheet for hours. I think it’s important to be honest about how the process works. It’s messy and sometimes frustrating, but seeing a building finally take shape is worth it. I mostly work with people from around Alkapuri who want something practical. We sit down, have a chat, and see what we can come up with. It’s a basic way of doing things, but it has served me well over the years. I usually have a stack of blueprints that need checking before the day ends.
