ARUN NALAPAT ARCHITECTS
Just a note to thank you for conducting the Millennium Club design competition.
Great architecture requires not just talented architects, but visionary clients as well. I hope this competition will inspire other developers and builders to follow your lead.
The premise behind holding a competition is that there is unrecognised talent right here in Bangalore. At a time when the overall trend is to flock to foreign design firms, your decision to unearth local talent is heartening, to say the least.
Although our design was not selected to be built, our entire firm enjoyed the experience and we learnt a lot from the attempt. We hope that you will end up with an outstanding clubhouse that will exceed your expectations.
Our thanks also go to Mr Jayadeva and Resource Communications for conducting the entire exercise meticulously and professionally.
