Ravi and us go back a long way. Our home, Rose Bank Cottage in the Kumaon hills was re-designed by Ravi. It’s an organic design, blending with the forests and the mountains and the beautiful Naukuchiatal Lake around. He has managed to bring the outside in. The fabulous views were wasted till Ravi enclosed part of the open verandah and installed wrap around picture windows which suddenly changed everything about living in the hills.

His approach to inside outside connect is also very visible in our New Delhi home where the big Siris tree almost sweeps into the living room on the second floor. His sensitive approach to architecture and use of natural materials enhances every living space…,inside and outside. Our home in the hills has been loved by all who have visited us over the years. More power to you Mr.Kaimal, bespoke architect. Here’s looking at our next project.
