Organic Harmony Haven
Apartment is a a fully furnished and equipped residential unit available for short-term or extended stays. It offers amenities and services similar to those found in hotels while providing the convenience and comforts of a home-like environment.
The central theme is to seamlessly integrate the natural world into spaces by utilizing organic shapes, fluid lines, and the gentle curves found in nature(contour) .
By incorporating organic forms(contour) and modern building into apartment design, a unique and visually striking space is created .The design mainly focuses on creating a harmonious and soothing atmosphere to the dwellers.

Electric charging
Infinity
The charging station is design for a future as more electric vehicle are becoming popular in nepalese people. So, the initial idea was to have futursitic design which looks different from a surrounding building.With all the surrounding building being rectilinear form, the first step was to go with curvilinear design. To promote electric vehicles or in other words to promote the use of renewable sources for the longterm,the form was developed from an infinity shape which represents the infinite energy(electricity) one can get from the sun.
The key of the design concept was to go far beyond its built borders and integrate into the communityserving not only as a charging station but as a public space too. As in design, the ground floor serves different amenities and open spaces whereas the first floor serves as the park.

Design approch
I was involved in this project to design the exterior aesthetics, focusing on the use of vernacular architectural materials from the Dolkha district. The primary material used was stone masonry, reflecting the traditional style unique to this ward. Additionally, the design integrated modern technologies to enhance functionality and durability while preserving the cultural and historical essence of the region’s architecture.
