Shah Associate Architects

Shah Associate Architects is located over in Phase 4 of the G I D C in Vatva, right in the Raopura area. Being in an industrial zone like this means we're surrounded by a lot of factories and workshops. It’s a busy place with trucks moving around all day. We’ve been operating out of this spot for quite some time. Our day usually starts early, getting the office opened up and checking through the current blueprints. We handle a lot of industrial designs because of where we are situated, but we do other projects too. It’s not a polished corporate office. It’s more of a working space where there’s always dust on the drafting tables and a lot of coffee being drunk. We prefer it this way because it feels like we’re part of the local building community. If you need to find us, just head into the G I D C and look for Phase 4 in Raopura. It can be a bit of a maze if you aren't used to the layout. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that. Usually, one of us just looks up from a drawing when the door opens. We just focus on making sure the structures we design are safe and usable for the people paying for them. It’s honest work and keeps us busy throughout the week. Sometimes we get a bit behind on the filing, but the drawings always get finished on time. It’s a steady pace here.
