Kumaran Design - We design fine homes and public spaces. They must live well - feel comfortable, be inspiring, suit their environment, last for generations, possess subtle refinement, perform admirably, and be delightful. We start by listening and observing. What we learn from you informs the basis to integrate creative desires and a thoughtful aethetic with functionality and the project realities. View our website and blog: www.kumarandesign.com Note: As our planet is important to us, Kumaran Design is well versed in sustainable design. Tell us where you would like to incorporate 'green' strategies into your project. Note: You are reading about Kumaran Design as we are placed in the category "Design Non Architect". Smart choice. Kumaran Design is regularly selected instead of architects because we bring practical value to design aesthetics. With a strong background in building as well as design we offer (we like to think) just the right mix to address your project requirements.

Review by Martin O.in Mountain View, CA Project: Design a Building (Non-Architect)
Thamby Kumaran really listened to us and took note of our family's lifestyle. This enabled him to design the remodel in a way that ended up working perfectly for us. He also helped us balance features against cost, so we got the maximum for our remodeling dollars. Two thumbs up -- way up!

So far it has been going good. We are in a design phase and getting ready to summit for permits. We also are looking into 3-4 other projects.
