DUPLEX
Project Experience: The duplex is designed keeping in mind the hot temperature of Gelephu. The living room has a double height area which helps with better ventilation and also establishes interconnectivity between lower and upper floors of the house. Brick jail wall at the entrance helps with privacy and also allows for the cool breeze to enter adjacent dinning area. Family deck and terrace area becomes a gathering and recreational space for the family.
Project Experience: The duplex features open concept living, dinning and kitchen on the ground floor. These spaces are inter-connected to each other and to the outdoor deck. They are oriented in the direction that faces panaromic view of Thimphu city. The orientation also allows for winter sun to enter inside the space and heat them. First floor houses master bedroom, choesam and guestroom that is oriented in the same direction as living spaces on ground floor.
Project Experience: Having completed the design part, currently we are constructing this house on design and build modality. There are certain parameters in construction which are very important but being ignored on site. These things can ultimately affect the structural integrity of the structure and also the quality of finishing that develops later on. Our ultimate goal is to follow standard procedures and construction sequence and to build it right.
Project Experience: The building is proposed next to adjacent family house of the client. Hence it was important to create connection between two houses (new and old) which has been achieved by proposing outdoor deck. Ground level consists of parking with store and the first floor houses living room, kitchen, c/toilet and master bedroom.
