01 Furniture Manufacturing and Showroom 6th Semester design

TIMBRE ‘Timbre’ as a symbolization for each furniture design to have a different identity from one another.

The factory manufactures wooden furniture and showcases the design in its own showroom area. The designs are created by the design unit team facilitating the designers who actively collaborate with the craftsmen who work in the factory.

The factory design is based on providing open spaces to all of the three departments. The showroom has indoor and outdoor unit for showcasing designs.The design unit has a open work area for active interaction between the designers. The service area for the manufacturing caters their dining services as well as sleeping, shower, etc. The open area in the secondary entrance of the building gives recreational space for the workers to use during their break time.

All the buildings have different functions but have a few spaces where they require communication. Hence , a connection between each three spaces have been given so that there is no feeling of restriction of entry in any spaces.

Residence design : 3rd semester design The site is located in Buddhanilkantha, Kathmandu. The residence design is for a family of five, wife ( an Architect) , husband ( a Photographer), grandma ( a writer ), and two childeren . Here, each individual have been provided with seperate bedroom along with rooms for their interest and work.

The design process was based on following philoshopy of a Master Architect Frank Owen Gehry “Deconstructivism”. To Represent the design as such , curve elements , non linear floor plans have been designed. The architects designs were studied before hand and hence , implementation of his ideas to a few extent were done. How he plans is usually the zoning division where in usual living room comes after entrance but the architect designs were seen to have kitchen or private area before public spaces.

The spaces connection between two blocks is where the workspace of the architect wife leads to their sleeping area.

The Landscaping is done to introduce trees in the areas where views to other property as well as sound is to be blocked to some extent.

RESTING SPOT DESIGN MAAN CHANGA ( Heart kite ) : Translated as a happy state as like a kite flying freely The name as to describe the resting spot as a place where they proritize happinesss over exhaustion.

To embark on a journey of 14 days of harsh route, the trails are provided with resting spaces. The proposed spot is a strategically placed resting space, 4 km from Tilicho Base Camp, overlooking Tilicho Lake. Designed with local vernacular elements, it seamlessly integrates into the surroundings. The site encourages travelers to rejuvenate amidst natural serenity, providing both physical and mental repose. While euphoria is transient, the enduring memories of this rest spot serve as lasting motivation for the challenges ahead on their transformative journey.

Concept “Timelessness to eternity” The concept behind this to seamlessly blend the past with the present, creating an enduring atmosphere that transcends time, embodying a sense of eternity in its classical elegance.The enduring grace of Neoclassical style establishes a timeless connection to history, ensuring that the cultural and historical importance of the building is honored and celebrated for future generations.

Here, the building’s existing purpose as a firestation is retained and additional services for training regarding the occupation is added. This is done to help aid the lack of proper training facility as seen from the site visit.

The additional facilities are primarily: Wall climbing , video graphics learning , additional gym facility.

There is a seperation of museum area as a hall of fame for the firefighting department so that people can recongnize their contribution to the society.
