RENOVATION OF MULTIPURPOSE HALL AT BRITISH EMBASSY

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.
