Project Brief
Project Name : Residential & Nursing Housing for Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur,
Kathmandu, Nepal. Chakrapath

Proposed Site for Super

Specialty Hospital
The site is located adjacent to the Chakrapath (Ring Road) in Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal.
The residential housing is part of a larger plan to develop the site into a super specialty
hospital under the Tribhuvan University. Currently, the proposed development is under
Existing Tribhuvan
the master plan stage. University Campus

User Profile
The housing is divided into two categories : The Nurse’s Housing is for Nursing Staff who live along with
their families, while Resident Housing is for the Doctors and
some Faculty who want to reside within the campus along with
their families.

Hours of Operation : As a residential building, the building will

Nurse’s Housing Residents Housing operate for 24 Hrs. a day

Site Analysis
Climate

Nepal can be divided into five major tectonic zones: Terai, Siwaliks, Middle Mountains, High Kathmandu
Mountains, Higher Himalayas. Nepal’s climate, ranges from subtropical monsoon conditions in
the Tarai, through a warm temperate climate in the mid-mountain region, to cool temperate
conditions in the higher parts of mountains.

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal has the average elevation of 1,400 (4600 ft) meters above sea
level and hence experiences warm temperate climate.

Sun Path

• According to Sun Path diagram of Kathmandu, summer sun and winter sun are mostly in the south as shown in Figure.

• The undesirable low summer sun can penetrate deeper into the building from west facade during peak hours.

• North facade is preferred in summers as it experiences negligible sun. The Desirable winter sun is from south direction.

Hydrology
Natural Drainage : Kirtipur lies in the Bagmati Basin with the Bagmati river marking the western boundary of the district. Bagmati river lies at a distance of 5-10 km from
Tribhuvan University.
Water Supply : 1. River- Bagmati 2. Natural Lake- Taudaha

Concept Development

After the blocks have been placed, Pedestrian pathways

Blocks placed on site prevent
these nodes represent outdoor spaces connecting all the buildings
mutual shading as much as possible
that can be used as community spaces and community spaces.
such as park, sports facilities, café etc.

Entry to all the buildings for stilt parking Outdoor landscaping Adding more green spaces,
leaving most of the site vehicle free complimenting the indoor trees and other details

Shading Design

Shading is required in the

summers and the cold season
starts from the October, so the
solar angle of October 1st is
taken into consideration for the
length of shading used.
