01 | THE DIGITAL ART FUSION
Dhumbarahi, Kathmandu Architectural thesis
April 2024
16369.28 square meter
This thesis proposal envisions the creation of a digital world dedicated to the entertainment sector, showcasing the dynamic intersection of modern and digital art in Nepal. The architectural design incorporates fluid spatial arrangements, immersive multimedia installations, and responsive environments. By integrating advanced technologies like augmented reality and interactive projections, the museum fosters a seamless blend of physical and virtual experiences. This innovative project aims to establish a landmark destination, enriching Nepal’s cultural landscape and offering a transformative artistic journey for visitors.
Central to the design is the concept of “MorphoHub: Shifting Horizons “ which is like a building that doesn’t stay the same - it changes! It’s a special place where how it looks, what it does, and the technology inside are always getting better. People who go there won’t see the same old thing - it’s a space that keeps surprising and exciting them. The name tells you it’s not like regular buildings; it’s something new and always changing for everyone who uses it.
CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT
My main objective was to ensure the structure’s prominence and allure from the main road by introducing a commanding block as a visual focal point. Deliberate voids and cutouts add intrigue, while atrium spaces provide natural light and ventilation, enhancing the interior and creating spatial drama. The design features coherent transitions and sloped roofs, harmonizing the structure with its surroundings and establishing a visually striking architectural ensemble.

URBAN OFFICE HUB:
COLLABORATION AND NETWORKING
1st Runner Up
An urban office hub is a shared workspace designed to bring together professionals from different industries and facilitate collaboration, networking, and creativity. These hubs provide a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional office spaces, allowing freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses to work together in a shared environment.
The term "sangam" in sanskrit connotes "moving together," emphasizing the idea of fostering a sense of belonging and avoiding monotony in work through integration with life and nature. My design aims to achieve this by incorporating open spaces such as terraces with greenery, reflecting water bodies, and curved vaults, which are distinct formal elements that create a tranquil and calming atmosphere within the building. This seamless flow of openness helps to break the monotony and promotes a sense of harmony between the built environment and nature.

SUN AND WIND STUDY
Incorporating a water body helps regulate temperature, keeping the environment cool while creating a serene and calming atmosphere. The jali allows light and air to pass through, minimizing sun and rain exposure and providing passive ventilation for cooling. Additionally, the deciduous tree sheds its leaves in winter to let sunlight in, and provides shade in summer, preventing harsh sunlight from entering the building.

THE KAYA LAB
Practical Project
The Kaya Lab is a skincare cosmetic store designed to harmonize with earthy tones and natural elements. Emphasizing an organic aesthetic, we predominantly utilized raw mango wood textures throughout the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Complementing this, the metal fixtures are coated in a soothing green color, enhancing the natural theme. The walls are adorned with textured paint in subtle grey shades, adding depth and a serene ambiance to the interior, perfectly reflecting the brand’s connection to nature.

A. PRODUCT DESIGN
Architecture goes beyond merely designing buildings. When redesigning a homestay in Taplejung, we focused on creating an efficient fire stove design to effectively ventilate smoke from the kitchen.
B. MEASURE DRAWING
Detail drawings in architecture are the soul’s whisper, articulating the essence of a structure’s existence. This documentation of a century-old load-bearing residence constructed in newari style in Dhulikhel old city captures its fascinating features and intricate details, preserving its timeless character.
