ASMI SHRESTHA’S UNDERGRADUATE PORTFOLIO
ARCHITECTURE
ABOUT ME
I am Asmi Shrestha, a third-year architecture student, weaving nature into design and stories into space. Drawn to biophilic and sustainable architecture, I believe buildings should breathe, adapt, and belong.
With a user-centric approach, I see design as harmony—where time shapes space, color evokes emotion, and planning creates flow. Every project is a journey, and I am eager to keep learning, growing, and creating spaces that speak.

PRE-SCHOOL : A SENSORY WONDERLAND
- YEAR : II year I st part
- SITE LOCATION : Kalimati, Kathmandu
- SITE AREA : 33687.57 sq.ft
- ARCHITECTURAL STYLE : Contemporary
Inspirational interior connecting with imaginative outdoor spaces using a Biophilic approach.
I’ve designed a preschool that nurtures children’s curiosity. Circular holes reflect light on the ground, while colorful glass adds vibrancy from above.
A child thrives in nature, so I placed a central courtyard. The site is divided into four parts, ensuring visibility from every corner, creating multiple sensory axes. Ventilation flows through these corners and the skylight gap.

2. Sensory garden at the centre
Surrounded by playzones.
Cut through the corners creating visual-axis, bringing light and ventilation

THE AWAKENING
OF THE
SENSES
The sensory museum invites visitors on a journey of self-discovery, exploring the world through sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste.
Starting from a central core, visitors are led through immersive interactive environments that engage each sense individually, yet highlight their interconnectedness.
