PA HITI PROJECT
City Planning Commission,Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Kathmandu, Nepal Summer Co-op 2024
PA Hiti Project was a development project with a purpose of designing traditional Nepalese stone sprout known as ‘hiti’ along with it’s surrounding area.

PA Hiti Site Ground Level
The purpose of the project was to blend the cultural heritage with the modern community needs, creating a sense of belonging among the locals. Designing a culturally significant traditional stone sprout served as a focal point for the project.Since, the majority of locals had laundry job where they sun-dry the garments, a designated space for sun-drying garments was designed with poles. Alongside, an outdoor gym was added to the site to create a space for locals to engage in physical activities.

INTERIOR OF THE PA HITI
PA hiti is designed using traditional brick called ‘Dachi Appa.’ The interior walls are adorned with culturally significant design elements to reflect the architectural heritage. The stone sprout takes the center stage on the interior with a culturally significant sculpture beneath it.

3D MODELING STADIA MOCKUP
LLOYD CONCERT VENUE PORTLAND, OREGON, UNITED STATES
AXONOMETRIC | REVIT
The purpose of the stadia mockup is to allow the architects to test and evaluate how the seating design will function spatially within a concert venue. As part of my co-op, I 3D modeled a stadia mockup in Revit under the guidance of the project mentor. After the completion of the model, I produced technical drawings to clearly communicate the deisgn details to the team. This experience strengthened both my modeling and documentation skills while givinig me a valuable insight into how spatial planning impacts user experience in larger scale project.

Rooftop Pavillion
Spring Semester 2024
Studio Project
The aim of this project was to design a rooftop pavillion for the College of Design,Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP) roof. My design primarliy focuses on creating a serene space for the students and faculty by maximizing the views in all directions. This is achieved through varying the height of the structures,incorpating varieties of angles, open and closed roofs and adding cantilevers for an enahanced spatial experience. Custom-designed chairs, inspired by the DAAP letters were designed to add a personalized touch to the space.
I aimed to create an open space where students and faculty could relax, taking break from their classes and office work. Emphasizing diverse campus view from the site proved to be the perfect way to create an environment for visitors to unwind.
View of Greenspace, Road, Probasco Auditorium
View of Clifton Court, Stairs
The height of the pavillion structure increases gradually from the entrance, progressively exposing the visitors to views as they navigate the space.
View of Campus Architecture
The stone pavement for the cantilever and pavillion structures is designed with the same stone, creating visual cohesion. In contrast, the pathway stone is distinct to enhance the spatial sequence for visitors by assisting them to navigate the space easily.
FINAL PLAN DESIGN
The final roof plan was crafted by extending the adajcent building roof lines to retain the site aesthetic and cohesiveness. The geometry of greenspace, pavillion, cantilever and pathway was integrated to emphasize the viewpoints by framing each views
DAAP
LETTERS INSPIRED CHAIRS
The pavillion chairs were inspired by the DAAP letters to add a personalized touch to the site. The final design was a result of the abstraction of the Lobster font, chosen for it’s flexibility in creating ergonomic chair. It also allowed to create public, private sitting, open and shaded sitting area giving more preferences to the visitors. Each chair is placed in such a angle that it frames view.

Group Stairs Project
Spring Semester 2024
Studio Project
The aim of the project was to document a campus staircase through detailed drawings.Together with Sydney and Ben, I documented the measurements of Patricia Corbett Theater, College of Conservatory of Music stairs.

Water Folly
Fall Semester 2024
Studio Project
The aim of the project was to design a water folly for Burnet woods at Cincinnati,Ohio. My design aims to create the illusion of a floating structure, offering visitors serene views of the surrounding landscape. By employing varieties of angles, structural heights,I intend to frame diverse views and enhance the spatial sequence of the site.

BURNET WOODS |
Intrigued by the exisiting deck designs in the Burnet woods, I wanted to further explore the forms and geometry for my water folly design.The varying lengths of woods of the decks created a compelling geometry interplay with the site.
My aim was to integrate the site specific elements to capture the essence of the location in my architecture vision. I envisioned my water folly to seamlessly blend in with it’s surrounding while creating a space that offers visitors to appreciate the serene views of the woods.
COLLAGE
Crafted using the site photographs
I began my iterations inspired by the collage,experimenting with varying heights and angles to achieve the structual stability. The final design features three vertical structures,each set at different angles, ensuring stability by supporting the horizontal and vertical beams. These varied length not only provide stability but also adds character to the site, enriching the spatial sequence.

HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY & SPACE
This installation artwork delves into the memories embedded within a space, studying the relationship between human psychology and spaces. In this piece, I explore how my childhood memories are intertwined with the color of my childhood room. The site was specifically painted pale yellow to reflect this connection. By layering the space with recycling materials along with my own journals,films, I aim to highlight how memories are intricately woven within a space.
ALGAE MAPS
NATURE AND ARCHITECTURE
I have always been intrigued by the varieties of forms that algae form on the exterior surfaces resembling natural map on the walls. This project delves further into the diverse forms algae create aiming to highlight the interplay between nature and architecture.
