01. BINAY RESIDENCE

1.1 DESCRIPTION Name: Binay Residence Location: Baneshwor, Kathmandu Site Area:4063.64 Sq. Ft. Style: Neoclassical Workphase: Under Construction

1.2 INVOLVEMENT 1. Product Design -Bed Design 2. Interior Design -Puja Room 3. Market Survey

Binay Residence is a three story residential building for the client Binay Saud. The building is now at its final construction phase. In this project i was involved in interior design of the building. i got oppurtunity to design a bed for the masterbedroom, and design puja room as well as to go on market survey for curtains, wallpapers and sofa covers.

EXPERIENCE Designing the furniture, visualzing the interior spaces, considering Lighting, comfortablity, surveying the market for the materials and considering constructablity was a good experience from this project. I got the clear picture of the design process and Construction procedure.

1.3 PRODUCT DESIGN -BED DESIGN

A bed is the focal point of any bedroom and will enhance the decor of the room as it creates the ultimate setting for a stylish night’s sleep. The essential features to create a stylish bed are as follows: i) Headboard The headboard is one of the most prominent features in the room and will set the tone for the bed style. ii) Linens The quality of linen is essential to a restful night’s sleep. iii) Duvet The comfortable and the right temperature will benefit from the precious hours of restorative sleep our body needs to function at its best throughout the day. iv) Pillows The pillows serve an important purpose on the bed – not only do they provide support for our head and neck while we sleep, but also create interest and impact on the bed when it’s not in use.

1.4 INTERIOR -PUJA ROOM

When designing the interiors of a home, the pooja space is one of the areas that needs a lot of importance. After all, the energy from this area can spread good vibrations throughout the house, contributing to wellness, wealth and happiness. Vastu Shastra recommends that the idols in the pooja room should be placed so that they face either the east or the west. Additionally, the idols should be placed on an elevated platform and not directly on the ground. Since pooja rooms need to be spotless, keeping the idols off the floor also makes daily cleaning easier.

2.3 EXPERIENCE while designing this resort there were many oppurtunities for me as well as some challanges. oppurtunity was that i got chance to design the whole resort, study different aspects of a resort. i learned how we have to consider constructablity and economics while designing any building. and the challanges was to repet the same work with the small changes made by client. I learned to draw municipal, working, sanitary, electrical drawings from this project. Also from the Structural Drawings i learned many things. The Design Process, interection with client, meeting with different professionals was a good experience for me in this project.

2.4 CONCEPT Ever since the days of the Roman baths, people have been looking for the same basic essentials in a resort experience:

ATMOSPHERE ENTERTAINMENT

INITIAL ZONING

The zoning was already done by office so i had to design spaces required in each block.

ESCAPE

MEMORIES CELEBRATIONâ&#x20AC;&#x201A;

FINAL MASTERPLAN

Parking Office Restaurent Conference

Swimming pool Toilet Guest Block

A Single Guest Block contains 8 Rooms with attached bathroom and good lighting and ventilation. The climate of the Chitwan is very hot and humid so the orientation of guest house is done as the less area get the direct sun light and the bedrooms are placed towards the barandah so that the barandah above acts as the shedding device and the room remains cool during hot climate.

Concept development of Guest Block

Also the opening on the west and the east side provides cross ventilation as wind in chitwan blows from west to east, due to this the air inside remains always fresh

The office block contains a office for reservation and management and a kiosk for the visitors to buy the local handicraft materials. Office is located on the left of the entrance to make easy for the visitors to find it. Concept development of Guest Block

Salyan Residence is located at Salyan, Solukhumbhu. The owner of the Residence is Mr. Bal Bahadur K.C., he was also the ex-minister of nepal. Being actively involved in the politics he wanted his house to be example for all the people living in the area by building a house which is in the vernacular style. The new building was to be built in place of the old building which was damaged by the earthquake in 2015

3.3 EXPERIENCE This Project was the most satisfying project for me because i was involved from the first meeting with client to site visit, site measurement preparation of conceptual drawings to the final structural drawings. We went to solukhumbhu to see the site there we studied local buildings and the landscape around the site. We also prepared the measurement of the site as there was no measurement of the plot before. I learned about the vernacular architecture of the solukhumbhu, how the houses are built at solukhumbhu being at very rural area of the nepal. luckly the road is being constructed there which made easy for the transportation of the building materials to the site.

3.4 SITE It is located in the salyan, solukhumbhu. at the front of the house there is Mabaleshwor Shiva Temple. at the north side there is beautiful view of the Phaplu hill and Solu khola. at west direction there are few vernacular buildings. At south there is very steep slope. The site is located at very rural area of solukhumbhu but new road construction project connects it with nearest city of okhaldhunga and to other places as well which makes easier to transport building materials easily.

WATER TANK Since the site is at very rural area there is no provision for water supply. They have to depend on streams of water flowing down from the hill which goes dry for some months which makes difficult for the people living in there. So to collect and utilize rain water we suggested a watertank of 15000 litres to be built at west side of the existing building.

5.3 EXPERIENCE The Road is Almost more wider than the Site itself in this Project. The site is long but very Narrow so it was very interesting to design a guest house in such a plot. From this Project I learned about Importance of small spaces which can impact the overall design of the building.

5.4 Litreture Review from the time Saver Standers Before an architectural office begins planning and designing a hotel, it should know exactly how a hotel operates . Every type of building must function smoothly to achieve the end result that the client is seeking . The primary function of a hotel has not changed from the earliest recorded hostelry to tire present-day hotel, whether that be a hotel of 100 rooms or 3,000 rooms, whether it be an in-city hotel or a resort hotel, whether it be a convention hotel or a farnily-type hotel . The earliest hostelry offered ‘ bed and board’ as well as pleasant surroundings in which to enjoy both commodities. The earliest hostelries and caravansaries worked on the same principle . The guest arrived at the front door, where he was greeted and arrangements were made for his lodging and food . A stable for horses and carriages, or a compound for cartels and cargo, were provided at the rear of the establishment . A rear yard was used by the innkeeper’s wife and her assistants to prepare food which was then cooked in a kitchen . We therefore had a house divided in two . The front half of the house included the reception area arid the public rooms, or the covered arcades in the caravansaries, where the guests gathered to dine and to socialize . The other half of the house, or to use a terns which is still applicable, the back of the house, was where food was prepared arid where the guests’ service amenities were taken care of, such as laundering, the shoeing of horses, or the repair of harness and traveling gear . This duality of a hotel must be thoroughly understood by an architect before pencil is put to paper to start the design . For convenience’s sake and for ease in preparing a preliminary study, we will assume that all these services take place on one level . Figure 1 indicates the flow of services and hotel personnel . For the time being, we will ignore tire actual rooms arid concern ourselves only with the level where the “greeting” takes place and where the services are rendered . The ‘greeting area,” for future reference, will be known as the front of the house, and the place where services occur will be known as the back of the house. It must be borne in mind that, as far as planned circulation is concerned, there must never be a mingling of the front-of-the-house services with those of the back of the house. At no time should the guest be aware of everything that is taking place at the back of the house, but, at the same time, the smooth operation of the front of the house is completely dependent upon what is taking place at the back of the house. The two functions must be kept separate and yet so interrelated that both function smoothly and efficiently. Hotels are designed and built so that the client, owner, or operator of the hotel will get a satisfactory financial return on his investment. In order to achieve the greatest return for each dollar invested, we again face a dual problem. In the first instance. the guest must feel completely comfortable and at ease from the moment lie steps through the entrance doorway, checks in, goes to his room, avails himself of the food and beverages available, spends a comfortable night in a well-appointed, scrupulously clean room, and returns the next day to a room which is as fresh and inviting as it was the moment he first entered it after checking in. Everything for the guests creature comforts should be carefully considered, whether it be the ease of finding the registration desk, the cashier, the bars and dining rooms, the elevators that will take hint up to his room, and finally the room itself. The service at the registration desk, in the bars and dining rooms, arid in the guest room itself as well as in the corridors must be such that the guest finds his every want courteously and efficiently taken care of. The physical environment becomes an important part of the guest’s creature comfort. These factors include color and decor, lighting, proper air temperature, comfortable furnishings and, above all, a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Everything that the guest expects and should get will be a result of what takes place at the back of the house. It is only in this area that everything that will keep a guest contented during his stay is arranged for and so ordered that everything the guest is seeking is accomplished unobtrusively and, what is most important, economically. Economic operation of a hotel depends entirely upon the back-of-the-house services. Since these services are primarily concerned with hotel personnel, the plan must be so arranged that maximum efficiency from each hotel employee can be achieved without taxing the employee and without allowing the guest to feel the drive for efficiency that dictates every phase of hotel planning.

6.2 INVOLVNEMENT 1. PERSPECTIVE DRAWING 2. PHOTO RENDER

Originally there were existing buildings on the site owned by SHARE AND CARE NEPAL, one of the NGO’s of Nepal. We were asked to analyze the existing building and make a decision weather to revive the space or buid a new design. The client’s motive was to create a commercial hotel or miniresort like spaces so that he can use his unused land for income generations. Since the site being in a Newari Community and after analying the condtions of buildings we proposed for the demolition of all blocks except the existing guest house. We also suggested to demolish all but client insisted on keeping the Stage which is at the SE of the site.

6.3 EXPERIENCE During this project i Learned about Newari Details and how a 3D can be produced from a already designed spaces.

INVOLVEMENT

12.1 INVOLVNEMENT 2. Material Survey 3. Talks and Presentation 4. Tender Document Preparation

12.1 MATERIAL SURVEY Market survey is a regular practice at RADIANT where we constantly visit the market for material research, pricing, material availability, options, feasibility and use. This culture has been beneficial in the sense that we get to know the current market, and this is one thing lacking from our curriculum. Proper market research makes us better at designing as we get to play with a variety of material option in mind. More often than not, the textures we use in software are unavailable in market, specially in Nepal were the options are pretty low, making our design a failure as it

fails to deliver what it was designed as. With proper market knowledge we can be confident about our designs and make smart use of options for better productivity and economy.

TYRE TREASURE It is an innovative idea to upcycle the tyre. It aims to address the increasing pollution caused by non biodegradable inorganic TYRES -Follows the principle of 3R (REUSE, REDUCE , RECYCLE)-It advocates the environmental sustainability to reduce carbon footprint.

WHY ?? TYRE TREASURE • TYRES are non- biodegradable inorganic waste. • The Increased number of vehicles, but no proper recycling has been possible • To promote economic welfare, generate employment opportunity • To promote local and natural theme which is both

useful and aesthetically

appealing

BUILD UP NEPAL Build up Nepal is working to build earthquake resistant schools and houses in rural areas of Nepal which specialize on rebuilding villages with CSEB â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Compressed Stabilized Earth Bricks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an earthquake resistant building technology. Build up Nepal works as an implementation partner for INGOs, NGOs

and

local

entrepreneurs

which

focus

community

driven

reconstruction and supporting local entrepreneurship. The best way to build up Nepal is by empowering local people and using local materials. Together with NGOs and local entrepreneurs Build up Nepal provide machines and training for rural communities, teaching them to build safe and affordable homes. Compressed Stabilized Earthen Block (CSEB) is a type of manufactured construction material formed in a mechanical press that forms a compressed block out of an appropriate mix of fairly dry inorganic soil, non expansive clay, aggregate, and sometimes a small amount of cement or lime as stabilizer.

WHY CSEB? • Interlocking Bricks (CSEB) emits 62% less Co2 compared to fired bricks

according to HRRP GHG emissions calculator. • The main sustainability advantage of CSEB compared to most material is that it often is a super local material. To many construction sites no transport is needed. The production process can be labor intensive which has less negative

12.3 Tender Document Preparation Tender documents are prepared and sent out to potential contractors to seek tenders (bids) at tender phase. Typically, the tender documents will consist of all or some of the following documents: Cover letter: A formal letter inviting contractors to tender. It will advise when and where their completed tender should be returned. Invitation to tender This provides guidance on how the tender documents are to be completed. Form of tender: A covering document prepared by the client and signed by the tendering contractor to indicate that they understand the tender, accept the various terms and conditions of the contract, and other requirements of participating in the tender exercise. Terms and conditions of contract: This document sets out the legal framework and the obligations of both parties signed up to the contract. Tendering contractors must read this document in conjunction with the other tender documents. Complete detail drawing: The detail drawing of the project which consists of architectural drawing, structure drawing, sanitary and landscape details. Detail estimate: The detail estimate of the project should be provided along with those documents. Bill of Quantities: Each invited contractor bids against the bill of quantities, stating their price for each item of work.

Their priced bill of quantities

constitutes their offer. As the bill is made up of prescribed items of work, it is possible to compare both the prices directly between each tender - this lets you make a detailed assessment of which aspects of a tender offer good or poor best value.

The prices on the bill of quantities can also assist with

negotiations with the preferred tender at later stages in the tender exercise. Specification

and

Tender evaluation criteria A document advising

how returned tender will be evaluated against each other and the contract awarded. Tender return label: A simple label giving the time and date that a tender must be returned.

Pre-construction information: A document giving relevant information about the project that might influence the health and safety of the paths design and work.

Contract agreement: The contract agreement is prepared when client finalizing the contractor after going through the bidding made by the contractor. The main requirement of contract agreement are: 1.Performance bond2.5% of total budget is deposited to contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account guaranteeing the fulfillment of a particular contract. 2.Retention money10% of the total amount on every bill is withheld pending until the completion of project successfully. 3.Mobilization amount15-20% of total payment is deposited for contractor at the time beginning of the project. 4.Detail qualification of the participants during the contract agreement contractor should provide the detail qualification of all the participants which will be involved in the project along with him. 102 5.Detail of the facilities to be taken different facilities like transportation, electricity etc. which are to be taken by the contractor should be mentioned and discussed properly during the contract agreement.

Bill checking In every project client should provide the payment to the contractor in different phase according to their contract and according to the field of work the contractor have been involved. Contractor will provide bill for his work to the client. If the client doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have knowledge regarding the construction field then he will approach any consultant for the bill checking of the project. After the bill checking the consultant gives approval for the bill to the client and contractors gets paid for his involvement.

During this I learned the tender document of Nepalgunj City Hall project under the supervision of Ar. Prakash Amatya and Er. Nilesh Shrestha.

13. CONCLUSION This period of practicum has been very beneficial to me, the work that I have done, the knowledge that I have achieved during this period will always be with me. It is not always necessary that theoretical knowledge no matter how descriptive or well written can be understood. This is where we require practical knowledge which explains things more clearly. Practicum polished

my theoretical knowledge and introduced me into the practical world. I have grown not only as student but also as an individual. It has built my confidence and helped me improve my skills in designing, interacting and others. Thus, for a student to work in a professional office environment and to gain the practical knowledge required, the practicum course has been very useful in providing opportunities. It was indeed a privilege to work in good firm during my practicum period. During my practicum period, I got a lot of opportunity in designing. Here I learnt to work as a team along with other staff members and the architects themselves. Site visits also taught about construction processes and I learnt a lot about new building materials and design idea. In my view architecture would have been incomplete if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for this period of practicum. Overall it helped me to learn about the real world of architecture, adding a new dimension in me.
