Starch Design Spectrum

Starch Design Spectrum is tucked away in Alkapuri Khetwadi 11Th Lane at 301/302. It is a bit of a maze getting here sometimes, but we like the neighborhood. The office is two units joined together, which gives us enough room to spread out our big prints and material samples. We have stacks of bricks, tile swatches, and wood finishes sitting around the edges of the room. It is a working studio, so it’s rarely tidy. We spend our days designing and then redesigning until things look right on the screen and the paper. Khetwadi is a busy place, and the noise from the street usually filters up to us, but we don't mind it. It keeps us feeling connected to the city. We aren't a corporate firm with a board of directors. We are just a few designers who enjoy the process of building things. We spend a lot of time arguing over small details that most people probably wouldn't notice, but we think they matter for the final result. Most of our work comes from referrals, so we don't spend money on ads. We just focus on the drawings and making sure the builders know what they are supposed to be doing. It is a simple way to run a business, and it keeps us busy. Our desks are usually covered in sketches and empty coffee cups by the end of the afternoon.
