Academics - 3rd Semester

Type - Residence

Site - Budhanilkantha

Area - 6816.02 sq ft

Project Brief - the project was to build a residence for an architect based on principle of Master Architect.

My Approach - i studied my master architects projects and the way he does his zoning ,plans, elevation treatment in his designs. i designed this residence for an architect complimenting site features and with integration to the surrounding

INSIDE OUT

Master Architect - Frank Lloyd Wright

MY APPROACH

TAKEWAYS FROM CASE STUDIES:

Degree of privacy increases with the floor levels

Horizontality

Use of simple geometrical shapes

Experiencing river through glass bridge. maximum openings towards face facing community jungle.

Land use

River as main land feature the flows along the site

Noise level Adjacency Matrix

experiencing garden from dining area

Academics - 5th Semester

Type - Commercial building

Site - Swoyambhu, Kathmandu

Project Brief - The project was to build a commercial building in a site located at Swoyambhu. the main purpose of the building was to generate income and also provide a comfortable public

My Approach - my approach was to overcome the challanges and flaws that were analyzed while doing the case studies. Making the building for fluid, comfortable for the public where they can

MY APPROACH

As Architecture evloves with needs, my approach was to break the traditional boxy, rectangular forms and incorporate organic architecture interms of form (curves), circulation, decorum.

In my design, i’ve worked with curves in plans, elevations and circulation (abstract form from water ) and also incorporated a water body on top of the building which could be experienced by people in atrium through reflection of light. Eliminating rigid form and incorporating soft elements like water and curves was a point of departure for my design. water symbolises motion which i’ve tried to reflect of my elevations through continous curve bands giving it a dynamic look.

Initially the Form of the buiding was derived with respect to site boundary and wind direction

reducation of mass towards the direction of wind for good air circulation and good views from the site

swoyambhu lies atop of hill that views in 4 carninal direction, a landmark and view from the site

plaza area

A big plaza area (public space) infront of the building for welcoming entry and buffer from noise

Academics - 6th Semester

Type - Furniture factory

Site: Balkumari, Lalitur

Area - 4359.38 sq m

Project Brief - The project was to build a furniture factory. From receiving raw materials to processing, displaying and delivering

My Approach - During case studies of furniture factories is Nepal, we could see a common problem in various factories that was lack of zoning and proper planning. My approach was to solve this problem by proper zoning through proper study of the site. Connecting various zones in a factory through wooden joints.

JONTS |INTERCONNECTIONS|

MY APPROACH

The purpose of wooden joint is to provide flexibility, strength, toughness and appearance.

Connecting various interrelated zones through joints to improve workability, flexibility, functionality.

Through proper study of the site and surrounding, noise level in the site and considering wind direction zoning is done. Through effective zoning, functioning and productivity can be improved.

drainage planning

To buffer the noise from the factory towards colony, employee unit it placed

Breakout spaces between working zone (coutyard)

Drying unit in direction of wind

Using warehouse as a buffer as well as a connection between showroom and manufacturing

Type - EV charging Station

Site: Lainchaur, Kathmandu

Area - 3806.28 sq m

Project Brief - As the use of electric vehicles becomes increasingly widespread, the requirement was to provide convenient and comfortable charging options for all of our guests. we could add a retail shopping area, a cafe or a pocket park for visitor while they wait

Approach -Proposed site for the charging station is located in an urban zone that is also segregated from the busy noisy neighborhood. Elongated site lengthens the car routes, so to soften the circulation, circles and curves are incorporated in the path that creates an infinity shaped route.

COMPETITIONS

ELECTRIC VECHICLE CHARGING STATION

APPROACH

The form of the building is derived by the curves formed by circulation paths ( infinity ) and its placement is determined by the noise level from the road and views from the site ie mart placed facing the road and cafes in the silent zone.

Pocket of green spaces are incorporated in between the paths to create good experience for the users creating an experience of infinity trail.

Spaces like chautari (circular green space) in proximity to charging stations can act as an interaction hub for users while waiting.

Charging stations with 4 charging ports each are provided with a unique form

Academics - All year

Description- With time i have learned model making, quick sketches. I’ve learned and enjoyed the conceptual and massing phase where we are free to think and explore ideas and imply in our design.

I have learned and enjoyed making classroom model , skyscraper, 1BHK models in our previous year.
