PROFILE:
Ravi & Minu, a Bangalore based architectural firm was established in 1998. With the support of a team of highly
skilled and experienced professionals and consultants, we have completed over 200 projects in Bangalore.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY:
At Ravi & Minu, we believe in enhancing the lives of the users by the power of good design. For this, we ‘listen’
well to our clients – their requirements, aspirations, the budget constraints and their time schedule. We
involve the clients throughout the project life, from the concept to the finished product to ensure that the
building becomes a reflection of their vision.
The invaluable practical experience gained by us over the years, helps us to create comfortable sized,
proportionate and adaptable spaces, thus ensuring their long-term use even when the ways of living and
working change.
We design buildings which are in harmony with the natural surroundings and yet, are innovative, practical and
assert themselves, adding real value to the owners.
Our architecture is ‘energy-efficient’ and ‘green’ to a large extent because we give importance to climatology. The
right positioning of the building on the site with respect to the directions and the natural surroundings,
ensures maximum natural lighting and good cross-ventilation which then makes the built space healthy,
comfortable, efficient and a pleasure to live in.
Our clients choose Ravi & Minu for these reasons.
OUR MISSION:
To serve our clients as trusted advisors and;
To simplify the most complex problems with thoughtful, innovative design solutions.

APARTMENT: KRISHVI WISTERIA
It consists of 96 units – 2, 3-bedroom and 4-bed penthouses.
Keeping in mind, the client’s requirement, we have achieved 90% carpet area and 1.5 car parks/unit.
The vehicular movement is confined to the parking area, under the building, which allows for a car-free,
landscaped area around and between the buildings with a walking track, children’s play area and swimming pool.
ROW HOUSING : ANAND TERRACES
It consists of 83 units- 2-bed, 3-bed, 3-bed duplexes and 4-bed penthouses.
The usp of this project is that each condominium has it’s own large terrace garden/s instead of balconies. The
building is designed such that the terraces recede as it rises to make the project appear low rise.
The vehicular movement is confined to the parking area, under the building, which allows for a car-free,
landscaped area around the buildings with a walking track, public park, water bodies, children’s play area and
swimming pool. The existing 43 coconut trees are left untouched.
FARMHOUSE AT YELAHANKA
The Farmhouse was constructed using sadarahalli granite which was sourced from a nearby quarry. Extensive
rain water harvesting and water recycling systems are in place as there is a shortage of water here. The
farmhouse has been placed within the farm, without cutting down a single chikkoo tree.
FARMHOUSE ANNEXE AT YELAHANKA
The Farmhouse Interiors reflect the colonial style that the client wanted. This annexe is a 1 bedroom weekend
getaway. The plan has been kept open and spacious.
GROUP HOUSING: TRINITY ACRES



Trinity Acres was one of our earliest projects and the first project of Suraj Condominiums, the client.
It consists of 235 units - 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom duplex apartments.
It was conceived as a low-rise, row-housing project punctuated with central courts and alternating open
terraces which allowed the flow of air and play of natural sunlight through the complex.
GROUP HOUSING: TRINITY ACRES


This was the first ever row-housing project in Bangalore and it took us a while to explain the design to the
corporation authorities.
Ultimately it turned out to be the inspiration for several other row-housing projects in Bangalore.
GROUP HOUSING: TRINITY WOODS


Trinity Woods is the sequel to Trinity Acres. It consists of 115 units – 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom apartments .
This is also a low-rise, row-housing project but is different in that here, each unit has been designed around a
central open, green, courtyard and has alternating open terraces, which allows the flow of air and admits
natural light to all the spaces. The balconies recede away from the road, and so the complex does not
appear over-powering.
GROUP HOUSING: SPRING VALLEY FARM/RESORT


Spring Valley Farm Resort was conceived as a gated community for NRIs on Bannerghatta Road. It consists
of 30 one-acre farms with farmhouses and serves as a vacation retreat for the owners.
The USP of this project was the aesthetic use of locally available Sadarahalli granite stone, (next to a
quarry), plastered brickwork and Mangalore-tiled roofs to create spacious, comfortable farmhouses which gel
with the natural green, coconut tree-dotted surroundings.
OFFICE INTERIORS: SANWARE


Sanware, a U.S. based software firm has it’s Indian operations in Jayangar, spread over a floor area of
30,000sft.
The challenge was to complete the project in a stipulated time frame of 60 days. This was accomplished
since we handled the project management as well.
KRISHVI LA PALMA
22 Luxury Apartments – 3-bed and 3 bed penthouses. All units have ample light and ventilation from 3
sides and adequate privacy.
RESIDENCE FOR MR ANANDKUMAR AT CHARLES CAMPBELL ROAD




This residence is one among, the 150 residences that we have completed.
The reason we featured it here is because of the unique concept on which it was based.
The site is on Charles Campbell road, Bangalore and originally, there was a run-down old house. Since the
original structure was in a bad condition and had no heritage value whatsoever, we demolished it and
designed a house around an old gulmohar tree, such that all the rooms of the house overlooked the tree and
the garden.
Initially the client had just wanted us to design the structure, but later we were asked to design the interiors
as well.
GROUP HOUSING: CHOICE CITY



We conceptualized a very unique group housing project with 900 units as row-houses, apartments and
independent villas, for the Choice Group on Hosur Road.
The USP of this project was that we deliberately restricted the roads to the periphery and increased the
central green spaces, thus creating pollution-free and child-safe zones internally.
Also, the row-housing and apartment complexes recede away from the roads as they go higher. Thus the
buildings do not look overpowering from the road.
