Nice little Highway Resort. I stayed at the Kamath Residency for 2 days in a Deluxe Room. The Hotel touches the Highway at Nagothane. This is a well maintained hotel with good landscaping. The rooms are decent. My room had 2 bathrooms along with an additional bed. Its great for 4 people.
The Hotel has Mountain Climbing & Valley Crossing (for Kids) & a decent swimming pool. The Food was OK. A a good, neat, highway hotel. Worth a consideration. â Harnid on Trip Advisor

We entrusted designing and monitoring of the construction of our house at Jayanagar to Ashwin of M/s Ashwin Architects. We had earlier, among our family members, decided not to interfere in the designing of the house as we thought, an architect, as a professional, knows things better. Ashwin has done a great job in designing the house. His design has aesthetic sense and lots of creativity/imagination has gone into the design and it is a mine of imagination and creativity. The trilogy of creativity, utility and execution has worked well in the house. Care has been taken to ensure more than adequate requirements for ventilation.. His concept of cross ventilation for the house requires a special mention as no artificial lighting of any kind is needed during day. Minute aspects in selection of materials, fittings both electrical and sanitary have been taken care to ensure grace and dignity of the house. There are many highlights in the house which need mention like, pooja, utility and the execution of semi open concept of the house which was expressed as a requirement was dealt brilliantly by the addition of a partition which separates living from kitchen and dining. The openness of the concept brings in added advantages like multiple entries into the kitchen and dinning giving a feel of openness to the area. The concept of landscape is a testimony to his creativity. The landscape is designed in an enclosure which has been raised from ground level by seven feet so that the plants which are grown will be at the same level as the flooring in first floor. This experiment, to my knowledge, is highly imaginative and uncommon which needs a certain level of courage to design and execute to perfection. The entire house is built on a geometric concept which is very evident both in the front elevation and also in the interior of the house. This ability to maintain the geometric concept throughout the house while maintaining elegancy deserves applause. When it comes to kitchen and dining, the contemporary design with glass back panels and the open attached dining room along with the attached âLâ shaped balcony with huge French windows gives expansive majestic views of the neighborhood and is quite exquisite. Utility which is one of the most underrated areas normally in a house is quite big and comfortable to accommodate two washing sinks, washing stone, place for dishwasher and washing machine with plenty of room to spare. One of the bedrooms in the first floor has been designed a little differently with a narrow vertical window and two large french windows and a balcony. The unorthodox look of the room with added corners adds to the âje ne sais quoiâ quality of the house. Though the building took longer than we anticipated, Ashwin explained us that to design a creative building and then to execute the same (even the contractor has to understand and execute as per design) will take a longer time to finish as compared to a normal building. This during the construction was a little difficult to understand. However, as the building started taking shape, we were able to understand what Ashwin was saying. The house is south facing. As known there are many limitations for a south facing house with regards to elevation designing. The same has turned out magnificent which when seen for the first time gives an excellent indication of the designing surprises waiting inside the house. Overall the house is worth living just because it is DIFFERENT. There is also something beyond looks that is grace, dignity and taste. We performed the housewarming on 29th March 2013. Invitees were dumbstruck the moment they saw the elevation and were even more amazed when they entered the house. They just could not but admire in awe.

Since it can be said that humans are generally creatures of habit, the state of a personâs home has been known to physiologically influence their behaviour, emotions, and overall mental health â Having known this, it was almost unthinkable of not hiring an Architect for our dream home. Looking back â approaching Ashwin for this job of architecting was one of good decisions we made. All our specific home needs were met in his design an infact from paper to on-field work was nicely and well executed. For people wanting to build a home we strongly recommend Ashwin Architects, and do visit our home to see the amazing work he has done catering to our needs.

What I liked about Architect Ashwin: He has sound knowledge in his subject. He communicates well with the customers. He brings clarity on the Architect-Customer interaction process. He tells the stages of payment unambiguously. He encourages the customer to give their requirements than a design. If customer has some specific constraint on design, he takes it in the right sense. He nicely explains the Pros & Cons of various approaches. He makes evolutionary approach to move from Line Sketch Diagram to a detailed plan and structural design. Through pictures of Elevation, 3D diagrams and virtual walk-through features, he makes the customers to visualize their dream house. He gives importance to all the minute details of the customer requirements. He handles the issues (if any) between the builder & customer very nicely. He acts as Arbitrator when required and takes care of the interest of the Customer & Builder. He makes regular site visits to ensure that the construction is as per design. He spends a lot of time with Builder to explain his design. He gives economical solution while selecting the Building Materials. He is a thorough Gentleman and can be fully trusted. Through trust, the Customer can get best out of him.

When my cousin Nisha had approached Dr. Vikram for a consultation, she had really bad crowns, bleeding gums and a deep distrust of dentists because of the bad crown work that was done by another dentist just 2 years ago. Dr. Vikram was very patient with her, he explained everything in great detail as often as she wanted and went out of his way to allay her fears. Thanks to him, she now has a great smile and healthy, pink gums.
She says, "Dr. Vikram is a thorough professional and also a kind, friendly person. He made me feel very comfortable though I have a morbid fear of dentists. He is, without doubt, the best dentist I have ever been to. I have the highest regard for his sense of aesthetics and skill. I highly recommend All Smiles Dental Clinci".
