TESTIMONIALS

Ravi and his team, Kenarch Architects were commissioned by me for construction of my farmhouse at Pawana. I wanted a dwelling, that was in synch with both, the pristine and almost surreal nature where my site was located and my rather non conformist, open book personality. The site was overlooking the Pawana dam backwaters on one side and at the foothills of a small range of hills on the other side.

When Ravi did a preliminary reconnaissance of the site, he had already envisioned the plan, and he showed me the rendering within a week. Creative geniuses like Ravi don't need to cerebrate. Design is  a creative insight and intuition of the aesthetic segregation and curating  of spaces. Its not a product of intellectual endeavor, but rather the creativity of the mind to seamlessly blend with space. The structure that emerged from his rendering revealed a certain uniqueness, without any trace of extravagance or garish contours.

The lines, textures, slopes, and the optimal use of the landscape contours made the structure appear to have germinated from the soil on which it stood.

It did full justice to the surrounding landscape and the execution of the project was spot on within a record time of 7 months, using only steel and bricks. One of it's kind.

I hate concrete and that was one point that we both agreed upon.

It's now the 5th year and despite being exposed to unprecedented rains and elements of nature, my abode still retains its original structure with minimal maintenance.

Thanks Ravi for making my dream come true.
