Lines written in early spring

Through primrose tufts, in that green bower, The periwinkle trailed its wreaths; And ’tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes.

The birds around me hopped and played, Their thoughts I cannot measure:— But the least motion which they made It seemed a thrill of pleasure…

The budding twigs spread out their fan, To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can, That there was pleasure there.

The site is located in the southeastern part of Nepal and lies on the bank of a river. The project was in the mid-stage of completion when the client started disliking the dream home, so the client was looking for someone who could design.

The brief was to develop a facade in his term; it was to develop a modern facade. So I tried to enhance the cosmic Mt. Everest, which all Nepalese are proud of. Taking inspiration and analysing the mass led me to play with the mass on a di erent scale from where it started to take an interesting character in which the pointed mass of the facade dwindles with the sky.

Initially, when it was observed that the layout didn't have any intimate spatial experience where one could share time, the extrusion of mass from the window enhanced the size of the window on the vertical axis and also enhanced the visual experience and connection  to nature.
