Architecture

Architectural Designers at Architronix listen to client very carefully and try to understand their needs with respect to budget, Lifestyle preferences, space requirements, wishes, likes, dislikes, and pain points. Design must truly serve what they really want and should reflect their personalities and lifestyle.

For getting it right, we have taken the following quote very seriously:

“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
