Professional architecture isn't a luxury any more.

Ten years of architectural practice, and one observation that would not go away.

Sidhant kept meeting families who had saved for years to buy a flat, and then handed the most permanent decisions about it — where the wardrobe goes, how the kitchen works, where the light falls — to whoever quoted lowest.

Not because they didn't care. Because they had been told, repeatedly, that architects are for bigger houses. That interior design is a luxury. That the contractor would sort it out.

The results were predictable and expensive: wardrobes rebuilt, wiring re-chased, furniture bought and resold, and a home that never quite worked. The money was always spent. It was just spent badly.

So he narrowed the practice instead of widening it. One home type. One set of constraints, understood deeply. A planning consultation priced at ₹759 so that cost could stop being the reason to skip the step that matters most.
