The Green Veil

Project Type: Adaptive Reuse Museum

Location: Naxal, Kathmandu

Academic Project (III/I)

Autocad | Sketchup | Enscape | Photoshop

A multilayered space siting amongst the urban fabric hiding its true existence under the undulating landscape, the museum serves as a communal abode. The building playfully interweaves the different functional spaces creating new intermediate open spaces. The museum reflects the true feel of the existing treescape and the historic Sita Bhawan and showcases them as the main display. The resulting lush landscape serves as a retreat from the visual noise of the historic building simultaneously drawing focus to it.

The exhibition spaces widen out vertically downwards, thoughtfully integrating natural light as part of the museum experience.

Turning Earth

Project Type: Mixed Use Urban Manufacturing Complex

Location: Hattiban, Lalitpur

Academic Project (III/II)

Autocad | Sketchup | Rhino | Enscape | Photoshop

Breaking the conventional idea of a manufacturing complex by creating a hub for learning and experincing the process of production with inspiration from our traditional local markets where the users and products are closely interlinked. It aims to mimic the feel of a traditional marketplace which is a great place to explore and interact and here pottery serves as a medium through which communities express their identity, creativity, and values.

The form emerges from earth like how earthenwares gets transformed from malleable clay to rigid objects.

Nakshyatra

Project Type: Residence

Location: Thecho, Lalitpur

Academic Project (II/I)

Autocad | Sketchup | Vray | Enscape | Photoshop

This residence connects the occupants with the surrounding landscape by letting each space to breathe into the void. The built form is broken along the East-West axis towards the main view. The visual connection is built before stepping into the building through openings. The landscape and the built form acts together as a medium to bring the occupants closer together.

Angan

Project Type: Interactive Space for Pedestrians

Location: Patan Dhoka, Lalitpur Design Competition

Autocad | Sketchup | Photoshop

“Angan” sits beside the historic “Patan Dhoka” serving its meaning in both literal and metaphorical sense. It acts like a zipper linking the city, the public space, the nature, and the people. This new urban place contains facilities for collective and shared activities that help the cultural exchange and the integration between different generations, residents and immigrants, locals and tourists, between needs of all demographic age groups and varied interests.

The form is inspired by the three passageway in the “Dhoka”, that acts as a gateway into the collective and shared space. The emptiness, which in other contexts is merely the space between things, becomes the main structural element of the new urban space in this context. It finds reason and viability in relation to the context that conveys the flow.

The spatial quality of the “Angan” predetermines not only a few options for use, but rather provides vast areas for a creative and informal adoption of the location by the visitor. Every aspect of the space is planned to allow for flexible use, accommodate various activities, and be accessible day and night.
