House 'T' maximizes the potential of steep Nepalese terrain. This two-story unit artfully divides the program vertically, distinguishing public and private realms. Upon entering the top level, a generous deck leads to an enfilade of interconnected spaces: the kitchen, dining area, culminating in a living space that offers unparalleled vistas. This open-plan layout encourages social interactions within the public realm but allows for personal space in the private realm nestled below. The bedrooms there evoke a serene sense of discretion, allowing individual members to retreat discreetly. Even in seclusion, the bedrooms embrace the natural surroundings through expansive fenestration, seamlessly merging nature with the interiors.
For those seeking a design that elevates social connectivity, The Loft concept presents a compact yet inviting unit. Blending public and private realms, this open-plan dwelling maximizes opportunities for social interaction. It features a sleeping quarter that overlooks the living space, creating public visual connections while maintaining privacy through clever vertical circulation.
The Line exemplifies the need for sensitivity to landscapes that call for a discreet intervention. Subtly embedded within the terrain rather than making bold statements, this unit caters to both steep and flat terrains and allows for handicap accessibility.
The Court caters to those who crave ultimate solitude within their holiday haven. This unit's design comprises three distinct and separate spaces. The bedroom units, while turning their backs to the public realms and each other, maintain direct connection with the landscape. The living space / public realm serves as a communal gathering spot with opportunities to foster shared experiences, but ultimately allows individuals to disengage. The Courtyard provides a sheltered oasis where the public domain meets the landscape. Here, integrated indoor and outdoor spaces come together, shielded from the winds that may sweep across flatter terrains.
