Testimonials

I think it's important that I share with you my wonderful experience in working with MR A Girish – Life inside ArchitectsI contacted Mr Girish to build me a detached single family home in Bangalore in Adarsh Vista. Mr Girish did an outstanding job in working with me designing to the last detail to build a house that is very modern and architecturally pleasing. He is very knowledgeable, imaginative, practical and cost effective in design. Most importantly, I found him to be very very helpful and he comes up with good ideas when you are in tight spot to make the plans structurally constructable while retaining good architectural sense. Even during construction, he took personal interest in resolving construction problems which I found to be very helpful as I live overseas. Girish even helped to re configure a staircase which I found to be user unfriendly after it was built. Girish was there in the fore front re- designing the staircase with least structural changes. Overall my experience working with Girish was excellent & I want to convey my experience to others who may need a top architect. I recommend Mr A Girish without any reservation to anyone who wants a good designer.

One rarely finds a gentleman and a dedicated and honest worker like A. Girish, the Architect who has taken the full responsibility of designing, executing the construction and the completion of the proposed universal temple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Deva at Sri Ramakrishna Sharadashrama, Ponnampet, South Kodagu, and Karnataka. We wonder at this young age he can craft the design of the building design of the building like a great artist and has amassed vast and practical aspects of building design purely owing to his handwork and perseverance. Temple architect is not a simple task and even the experienced architect fumble & hardly produces a masterpiece. But Sri A Girish has done a wonderful work studying various temple plans and visiting various temples before and whoever has seen our temple model has highly appreciated his efforts. He is really an asset to any institution, a source of inspiration to co-workers also to do their job with utmost sincerity. He is also deeply inclined to spirituality. Personally speaking I highly appreciate his dedication to duty and other noble qualities of head and heart.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for your thoughtful design and architectural considerations that went into architecting my villa #62 at Adarsh palm Retreat, Bangalore. Interacting with you, based on your vast knowledge and experience in the field, I could trust the advice I was getting as well as your practical considerations and thoughts that you had to back up your recommendations. The care and concern you showed was as if you were building your own house and not one of your client's. Your feedback in terms of having a mezzanine floor instead of a basement, the curved window design, etc., have been very practical and have also added a unique character and elevation to my villa. In addition, I found your inputs to be quite well thought out and with a lot of importance given to the practicality of the house rather than flamboyance. This has resulted in a architectural concept that is simple and yet very practical which meets all the requirements that I had. It was a pleasure to have worked with you and I really appreciate your prompt and professional responses during our interactions ad for your flexibility and patience for the time you spent on our design.

I have known Girish for the past 4 years when bought into the Adarsh Palm Retreat Villa, over this period, Girish has been the architect for the two villas that we have at the retreat project. As our architect, Girish was very patient in understanding how our lifestyle and family living Pattern. He was able to translate the vision that we had for openness within the house while working within the constraints that the developers has put on the exterior look of the house. Having lived in the house now for over a year, the house has turned out to be good as we had envisioned. As a result of this experience, we request Girish to architect our second house which is lake facing. He has created a very elegant plan that maximized the value of the lake front. He has been available throughout the construction period to discuss minor changes and to explain the rationale of various elements of the plan. Based on our experience interacting with Girish we would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Dear Girish, Thank you for providing me an opportunity to write these few words as client feedback. Girish is a thorough professional Architect always willing to take that extra mile to meet or exceed customer satisfaction. He is man of very few words but produces many great accomplishments. Ever since we have engaged with him on our villa project, Girish has been very supportive in suggesting sound architectural ideas and also been very patient with us in accommodating any suggested changes. Being a very senior architect with immense responsibility on his shoulders Girish spends all his personal time and energy for social causes and this is highly commendable and laudable

I started interacting with Mr Girish in 2005 on my villa design and I am extremely satisfied with the result. Mr Girish was very accommodating and was very easy to interact with during the entire planning stage. We got lot good feedback for our suggestions and were able to come up with the floor plan while living half way across the world. Mr Girish has a very good idea about local preferences and how new features can be added taking into consideration, such personal choice aesthetics, resale value etc. I continue to count on his opinions for minor changes and additions that we are contemplating to our villa.

This is to record our appreciation and thanks for your advice and guidance in designing our house in Adarsh Retreat. Your help and insights were very helpful in coming up with the right layout which we are very happy with.

I am happy to state that Girish helped me design my home at Adrash Palm Meadows as an architect. I am particularly happy with his capability to understand the requirements and practical suggestions to execute a given feature. He has an amazing knack of combining traditional with the contempory. He sticks to timelines and is a good resource to have in an organization. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

When we bought the piece of land in Adarsh Vista in 2006, our primary concern was how we were going to manage the long distance designing of the villa and then ensuring that execution happened according to the design. But once we sat down with Girish and commenced the design process, we were completely relieved because we knew instantly that we were in good and capable hands. Our initial impression has been absolutely justified, since Girish has worked with us extremely well during the past 18 months of design and execution. Girish's primary strengths are his technical skills and his amiable personality/equable temperament. So long as we were reasonable in our requests for changes etc Girish has been very understanding and flexible in his approach. The true professional that he is, while he gave us the benefit of his skills and experience in designing, he never forced us to accept his ideas (we eventually did that anyway), but let us work with those to arrive at our own conclusions. This way, we have the satisfaction of seeing the outcome being a healthy mix of Girish's conceptual designs and our own practical requirements as the owners. Girish also has the knack of instinctively picking up the vibes of the customer and moving in the desired direction without too much coaxing or nudging, unlike some other architects/designers we have worked with earlier. Girish has been prompt with his responses to our queries as well as his actions in coordinating the execution with the site office as well as other arms of the company. In this respect, he has probably done more than what his job requires him to do for us. We are extremely happy that we have a fine villa on hand today, thanks to the valuable inputs and unstinting co operation we continued to receive from Girish throughout the life of the project.

I am writing thing to express my thanks for getting our house in Adarsh retreat to a design of a quality that everyone who has seen it has loved. Your patience and ability to incorporate our vision into the plan seamlessly while injecting architectural elements made it what is it today. I noticed that you were carefully designing the house from structural, aesthetic, functional and environmental view points and the rest makes sense from all these points of view. The test of this meld of form and function is when both experts and the family examined it. My friends who are structural engineers and designers themselves all loved it, so did everyone in my family from my wife to six year old who now asks when this house will be ready to move into.

I would like to put on record my experience of working with you while designing my villa at Adarsh Palm Retreat. While on record, it was supposed to be an out of the box villa with little customization, your approach was different. Right from day 1, you asked me to document all my requirements, ideas and vision of what I wanted my villa to be – both the hard and soft aspects – so that you could design a completely personalized villa. I am very happy indeed to state that the design that turned out has fully met my wishes, aspirations and requirements. I especially appreciate the fact that even when I had some second thoughts and wanted some changes on some aspects after signing off the final design, you never hesitated for a second and made sure that all my requirements were fully met. The entire experience of working with you on this endeavor has been a pleasure. I really appreciate the level of personal interest you took and attention you paid to every detail, especially given the context of a largely standardized villa. Wishing you all success going forward.

Merwin Fernades

Our new home (villa #74, Adarsh Palm Retreat) is finally ready, and I want to thank you for your patience and tireless efforts in making our dream a reality. It is everything that we could have asked for when we first met you, three years ago and tried to visualize what we wanted. Your interior design is efficient and elegant, and the exterior has the blend of contemporary and uniqueness. We do want to emphasize the wonderful experience we had working with you at various stages. Your willingness to work patiently with us, as we wrestled with the plans and the alterations, was vital in getting the final plans just the way we wanted. Your recommendation for the second floor terrace access has made a great deal of difference with the extra space and also added the aesthetics to the elevation. Your imagination and flexibility allowed us to make changes to the family room and the dining sit-out which also added greatly to the interior success of the design.

I have been in close contact with Girish during his input in developing the architecture of my villa in Adarsh Palm Retreat. He has been an empathic listener, taking due note of and appreciating my requirements. He has not shiled away suggesting improvements wherever appropriate. Girish has always conducted himself with the courtesy and I have always found him very helpful. It gives me immense pleasure to place on record my heartfelt appreciation of not only the technical competence of Girish as an architect and his skills in communication with his client, but also, refreshing, his native humility as a human being. I wish Girish the very best in all his undertakings.

Admired your work and your response, the thing I appreciated the most was your ability to meld a plan sent by my architect here into a feasible plan for India rather than starting from scratch. You were one of the few who understands that responding to customers in a timely fashion, while creating a plan that meets my needs is very important to customer satisfaction
