MY APPROACH

As Architecture evloves with needs, my approach was to break the traditional boxy, rectangular forms and incorporate organic architecture interms of form (curves), circulation, decorum.

In my design, i’ve worked with curves in plans, elevations and circulation (abstract form from water ) and also incorporated a water body on top of the building which could be experienced by people in atrium through reflection of light. Eliminating rigid form and incorporating soft elements like water and curves was a point of departure for my design. water symbolises motion which i’ve tried to reflect of my elevations through continous curve bands giving it a dynamic look.

Initially the Form of the buiding was derived with respect to site boundary and wind direction reducation of mass towards the direction of wind for good air circulation and good views from the site swoyambhu lies atop of hill that views in 4 carninal direction, a landmark and view from the site plaza area

A big plaza area (public space) infront of the building for welcoming entry and buffer from noise

Academics - 6th Semester

Type - Furniture factory

Site: Balkumari, Lalitur

Area - 4359.38 sq m

Project Brief - The project was to build a furniture factory. From receiving raw materials to processing, displaying and delivering

My Approach - During case studies of furniture factories is Nepal, we could see a common problem in various factories that was lack of zoning and proper planning. My approach was to solve this problem by proper zoning through proper study of the site. Connecting various zones in a factory through wooden joints.

JONTS |INTERCONNECTIONS|

My Approach

The purpose of wooden joint is to provide flexibility, strength, toughness and appearance.

Connecting various interrelated zones through joints to improve workability, flexibility, functionality.

Through proper study of the site and surrounding, noise level in the site and considering wind direction zoning is done. Through effective zoning, functioning and productivity can be improved.

drainage planning

To buffer the noise from the factory towards colony, employee unit it placed

Breakout spaces between working zone (coutyard)
