01
I LANDSCAPE DESIGN
The park is designed considering the ‘Rato Machhendranath Jatra’, a chariot procession honouring the rain god. The Machhendranath chariot circumambulates the mother tree which is situated on the opposite side of the site in the Lagankhel Bus Park. The idea is to mirror the chariot route by providing a focal point where the circumambulation is recreated
Site Location: Lagankhel, Nepal

I MEASURED DRAWING
Parajuli house is one of the oldest houses in Kumal Gaun, a village established by migrants of hilly region during the 1960’s, in Nawalpur district, Nepal. The architecture of the house is influenced by the vernacular architecture of the hilly region in Nepal. The house has been adapted to meet the requirements of the Parajuli family in different times but it does not meet the requirement of the present generation. The house is now being renovated to meet contemporary needs of the family. Documentation of the house was done before the renovation process and the measured drawing of the house was prepared.

As
a part of the elective course Interior Design, we
designed a master bedroom of area 446 Sq.Ft. with attached bathroom and a walking closet. Tropical theme inspired by natural beauty, bringing nature indoors with organic colors, textures, tropical style furnishings and decor was chosen for the project. The style is characterized by warm and soothing, colors drawn mostly from natural elements such as the sea, sky, and vegetation. The style can help inspire a casual, relaxing atmosphere with a resort-style feel.
