The project is a resort targeted for international tourists. It is on a hilly site with glorious views of the mountains. The project consists of guest ethnic houses and a restaurant. A conference hall, sports hall and swimming pool are to be built in the future. The ethnic guest house is of different Nepali ethnic groups such as Newari, Gurung, Sherpa etc. The common buildings as Restaurant, Reception adopt local Newari style.

The building is three storey’s and is constructed with beam and column (frame structure) system. The roof is sloped and the walls are brick infill.

The project is a home for a Nepali upper middle class family of four members. The plinth area is 1400 square feet. There are living, dining, and kitchen guest rooms with a restroom on the ground floor. There is also a deck covered with trellis with vines. The site also contains a large garden in front of the deck and a kitchen garden at the back with a maid’s quarter. Three bedrooms with attached dressing and WC and a family room are on the first floor.
The main structural system is a column-beam system (frame system) with a flat/slope roof and infill brick walls. The architecture adopts a mix of a modern and traditional style. The building facade is plastered and painted. Wood doors and windows adopt traditional style.
The local building details enrich the building facade. There is beautiful scenery of mountains and Himalayas from the site.

In this project JSA renovated the exterior facade of the building including roof and the entire multipurpose hall. Exterior facade renovation consisted of the design of the doors and windows, renovation of the roof area and floor.
Interior renovation involved the creation of a modern interior with local Nepali interior ornaments/details. Triangular shaped ceiling with window niches were used to reduce the high ceiling of the hall and achieve a playful interior. A copper horizontal band decorates the hall and also reflects light. The walls are decorated with local hand woven dhaka panels in different shapes and colors. The panels partition acoustically and provide as for heat/cold insulation. The floor is of soft rubber wood. The services (HVAC, electricity etc.) are inside the false ceiling.
At the main entrance to the hall, an entry porch leads to the multipurpose hall and rest rooms. This space was rebivated as a landing space, where people can hang their coats and umbrellas and access the big notice boards decorated with local hand weaved dhakas.
Lights are playfully reflected with copper bands.
