Three residential buildings were conceptualized, designed and constructed in Kathmandu Valley. All of the designs were conceptualized keeping passive solar strategies on a mind. Considering the climate of Kathmandu valley, maximum utilization of the sun in the winter and proper shading during the summer was one of the main priority for the design. Along with that the rain protection and possible rainwater harvesting were done for the gardening propose. The solar panels were installed for the generation of the electricity as well as to heat the water. The core idea of all three residential building was to make building more energy efficient for that area.Projects:1.
