Residence for Mrs. Narayani Rana

Lalitpur, Nepal | Under-Construction

The residence is designed for a family of 4 members and is located at Lalitpur, Kathmandu. The spaces are planned so that ample sunlight enters the habitable spaces even in the winter season along with some of the principles of Vaastu Shastra - an ancient planning doctrine.

The client required a larger room for worship as it needed to accomodate 5-6 people in order to perform various rituals and is placed at the North-East Corner suitable for such rooms as per the Vaastu Shastra.

The contemporary outlook of the 1800 sq.ft. residence is designed so as to blend in with the new developing residential area.

Opening sizes are more liberal on the South and the East sides to allow maximum natural daylight and increase passive solar heat gain.
