MY APPROACH

Participation: Team

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.

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
