Ram-Nam, Marine Lines on Cinema Road, behind Metro cinema, the popular Art Deco picture palace in Dhobi Talao. #MeherMarfatia talks about its construction that obstructed the sea view. Resident of nearby Jehangir mansion, Pesi Khansaheb, used to pay 4 rupees extra a month - Rs 72 instead of Rs 68 for 4th floor sea views. Ram-Nam is a majestic streamlined street corner building with reeded spandrels and a cylindrical turret at the roof. Tanya George @tanyatypes says, "The lettering for the building name uses bold, geometric shapes. The stencil-like effect created due to the lack of counter spaces creates a striking design. The letterforms are also quite similar to Milton Glaser’s famous Baby Teeth typeface seen in one of his most famous works, the Dylan poster. I wonder how much the design was influenced by the typeface or the other way around?”

Bueno Vista, Cuffe Parade. When translated literally from Spanish, ‘Bueno Vista’ means ‘Good view.’ Situated in a narrow by-lane, it is a ground plus two floors Deco treasure with raised lettering above an off-centre entrance framed by striking blue reeded bands. The minimally ornamented façade is accented by grooves and bands.
