Student Housing Project
Green Bamboo Creation has undertaken the construction of a three-story student housing facility for Akasha Academy at Suntakhan-03, Gokarneshwor Municipality, Kathmandu. This project aims to provide a comfortable, sustainable living space for students while embracing local building traditions and eco-friendly techniques.
With an approximate built-up area of 3,000 square feet, the building design focuses on blending modern functionality with sustainable construction practices. The ground and first floors feature load-bearing masonry walls made from locally sourced natural stone with an exposed, split-face finish, adding aesthetic value and durability.
The layout of the building is designed to meet the needs of students, ensuring both privacy and communal space:
- Ground Floor: A spacious kitchen, student living area, dining space, and a common toilet with a wash basin for convenience.
- First Floor: Includes three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite restroom, a large storage room, a small storeroom, and a shared toilet for additional facilities.
- Top Floor: Features three more bedrooms with attached restrooms, a multi-purpose hall, and an additional storeroom with an attached restroom.
This student housing facility prioritizes sustainability through the use of traditional mud plaster on lower floors, which helps maintain thermal comfort. The top floor is constructed using Cement Bamboo Frame Technology (CBFT), a technique known for its eco-friendliness and structural integrity. The walls on the top floor are designed with cement plaster on the exterior and a natural mud plaster finish on the interior for a rustic, eco-conscious look.
All door and window frames will be crafted from seasoned Sal wood, ensuring high durability and aesthetic appeal while maintaining the project’s overall commitment to quality and sustainability.
Green Bamboo Creation’s student housing project for Akasha Academy aims to provide high-quality living spaces and also sets a benchmark for environmentally responsible construction and sustainable design.
