NAYA RAIPUR PROJECT, NEW CAPITAL CITY OF CHATTISGARH

“Dr. Sudeshna Chatterjee as the Urban Designer for the Development Plan of Naya Raipur, gave the new city its soul. Her designs ensured vibrancy of the new Capital City of Chhattisgarh without compromising on aesthetics. She also foresaw the new city as a caring and inclusive one and her plans reflect those virtues. Her grasp of ground realities, willingness to listen to diverse opinions and ability to work harmoniously with other teams helped the Naya Raipur Development Authority to finalize the plans satisfactorily and get Government approvals on time.”

SONALI AND AMITAV VIRMANI HOUSE, GOLF LINKS, NEW DELHI

“Dear Ravi

When Sonali and I met you in 2013 and gave you the brief of how we wanted you to ‘transform’ our home without losing the wonderful memories of my childhood, we knew you were the best person to help us create the perfect space.

I remember, in September 2015, when we had our grihapravesh and moved back in, I had an overwhelming feeling – “I was finally back home” – the place you re-created for us had transformed into our dream house and we can only thank you for it.

All the tireless days and night we spent thinking of the arches, the landscaping, the stones, the tiles, the bathrooms, the lights, the layout….everything!! It was so worth it.

Sonali and I cannot thank you enough for being so patient with us and for helping us build our ‘dream home’

Look forward to staying in touch with KCA and hope we can find an opportunity to work on another dream sometime soon….”

SAWHNEY HOUSE ‘MANZAR’, SATOLI, NAINITAL DISTRICT

“Ravi Kaimal yes…I was just telling a friend of mine as to how the house has grown on me and how, over the years, I have learnt to appreciate the little, thoughtful aspects of the house that I properly didn’t notice earlier…

And was commending your thoughtfulness as an architect.

Thank you.”

“Hi Ravi,

Its been a cold winter this year… the frost this year has really been unparalleled in the last many years.

However all these factors notwithstanding, and also the fact that I have been here for the entire stretch of the winters, I am really happy to report that have not really felt the severity of the cold.

The thanks is all due to you for insisting on the insulated windows and doors and the stone cladding etc… Life has been quite comfortable in the mountains with a nice cozy home. This fact has been endorsed by a lot of visitors as well. We hope to see you soon…”

JANI HOUSE, ‘GLEN HAVEN’, NEAR GAGAR, NAINITAL DISTRICT

“Ravi is a super easy architect to work with. He architected a home for us at Shyamkhet, Dist. Nainitaal, in the Kumaon range, which we not only hugely enjoy but also feel blessed to be able to share and enjoy with our family and friends. Everyone who has been there with us, loves the views, the feel of space and comfort which each room provides.

The result and happy achievement of all this is, we believe, because Ravi brought his valuable experience, knowledge and cerebral insights in designing our home  He truly explored deeply to understand our needs, life style and contextualized the design to the terrain of our land.”
