JOURNEY THROUGH S P A C E S S P A C E S due to this, DESIGN RESPONSE TO HOUSING MARKET Nov/Dec 2004 Civil Homes Phase III in Sunakothi has been a design response to the planned housing sector which, according to the glaringly, designers, Design Cell, has made a surprisingly the late start in Nepal. The main objectives have been to balance cost with facilities provided, so that the project becomes economically viable while still maintaining higher standards of space and requisite amenities. other hotels in THE MASTER BUILDER Nov/Dec 2004 Shanker Nath Rimal is best known for designing the Shahid Gate. However, his prowess is all the more appreciated for the design and construction of the Royal Nepal Academy Hall because, although an engineer, his architectural abilities have been well demonstrated by the multifunctional design. Other designs that have earned this artist/engineer an enviable reputation have been the highly individualistic and much discussed ‘Gudne Ghar’ and ‘Khutte Ghar’. Perhaps these signify the artistic nature of the man. 56 SEP-OCT 2005 SPACES
HOTEL WITH A HISTORY Nov/Dec 2004 The Shanker Hotel has a hundred year history behind it. Neo-classical in design, this ancient building is an architectural monument . Credit has to be given to the owners who have taken good care to make sure that the original facade is preserved for eternity. It has specially been a creditworthy achievment since even when much of the interiors had to be reconstructed for commercial viability, the exteriors were kept unchanged. it highlights, PROTECTOR OF MONUMENTS Nov/Dec 2004 The Kathmandu Valley Development Trust Office in Patan Durbar Square befits perfectly, its function-the preservation of traditional monuments in the Valley. It is not really surprising since the Nepal Program Director of this international body is the well known architect Dr. Rohit Ranjitkar who has a couple of interesting works to his credit such as the renovated Baber Mahal Revisited. He is fond of propagating, “It is not necessary to destroy traditional structures in order to provide comfortable living and working difference with space.” The KVPT office proves the point. the area and is AMIDST ENCHANTED FORESTS Jan/Feb 2005 Haatiban Resort stands some 400 metres above Kathmandu Valley and appropriately enough, has lovely invigorating weather all year around. Set in 2 hectares of lush green forest, the resort, designed by Narendra Pradhan, well known maker of monasteries, is only 15 kms from the Capital. Constructed with stone masonry and mud mortar, the architect faced some unusual challenges such as the difficult decision to have the cottages face west to take advantage of the perennial view of Kathmandu Valley, rather than east to catch the sun.
