Shaw Architect

If you know Sayaji Ganj, you know where Alankar Tower is. We are right on the first floor, at number 17. It’s right across from Kalyan Hotel, which is a handy landmark for anyone trying to find us. At Shaw Architect, we spend most of our time looking at blueprints and arguing about where a window should go. It’s a small office, and it gets pretty crowded when we have samples lying around everywhere. We have been in this part of Vadodara for quite some time. The area is always moving, and we like being in the middle of it. Our work is mostly about making spaces that actually function for people. We don't do much of that flashy stuff you see in magazines unless it actually serves a purpose. Most of our day is spent on the phone with site supervisors or checking on measurements. It’s a lot of back and forth. Sometimes we get stuck in traffic near the station, but that’s just life here. We aren't trying to be the biggest firm in the city. We just want to do decent work for the people who come to us. Our door is usually open, and there’s always a bit of a mess with all the rolls of paper. We don't mind it. It shows we are actually doing something. If you need to find us, just look for the tower near the hotel.
