Three and a half stories residential building for a family of three members was designed and constructed at Kathmandu, Nepal. Rcc structure with ground and first floor as a rentable space were conceptualized taking solar exposure into considerable. Kathmandu with a monsoon climate has four different seasons: Winter, Summer, Rainy, and Spring. So the building is designed in such a way that it has the highest solar exposure during winter while during summer the building is well shaded. Moreover, shading from the rain is also taken into consideration. The architecture style of the Kathmandu valley is studied and the building is conceptualized which shows respect towards the surrounding contemporary style.

Perforations on the building envelope are designed to reflect the changing seasons and subsequently the changing quality and angle of natural light. Made of Ductal high-performance concrete the façade is either fully open to allow full light into space or punctured in a pattern that creates an interesting and dynamic light that moves as time passes.
Light historically has governed our days. Long before the existence of “artificial” light, the sun was the driving force behind all human activity. Today, daylight affords numerous biological, emotional, and perceptual advantages to the human body that are unmatched by artificial lighting mechanisms. Architecturally, natural light has the ability to connect us with the present moment and encourage an increased awareness of our environment. It reminds us of the passage of time by infusing the material world with that of the ephemeral, and in doing so, harmonizes the user with the natural world. As light is redefined through the passage of time, the experiential quality and use of its respective spaces shifts as well. A sustainable built environment will focus on harvesting and honoring the ephemeral quality of natural light to reengage the human body and mind.

Road Island Design
Spring 2013 | Landscape Architecture | NEC | Dr. Bharat Sharma
Project Partner: Ashesh Sapkota
Road Island Design was designed assessment of landscape architecture. It was a group project of two (Ashesh Sapkota and Me). The site of this project is located at Bhaktapur with an area of 25079.9 sq. ft. Two triangular shaped sites are located at the historic place Bhaktapur on the way to Bhaktapur Darbar Square. Since the site acts as a gateway to the Darbar Square, the island is conceptualized from the abstraction of Nation Flag. Utilizing the shape of the site, two sides of the island is designed as the two triangular shapes of the flag with sun and moon at the center of each. The border of the flag and the island is designed as blue whereas using the red brick pavement the Red color of flag is presented.
