Congratulations
to Civil Homes for launching its third phase of Housing
project at Sunakothi & Thecho VDCs of Lalitpur District.
The basic philosophy of this new housing project is
to achieve a greater sense of neighborhood community
and yet maintain equilibrium between functional and
amenities by creating an appropriate environment suited
to the life style of different socio-environment and
cultural groups. The housing complex, which is environment
friendly with low density, is inspired by the physical
and human scale. It promises to bring resident’s
essential pleasure of sun in the each house, a view
of sky through large opening and also greenery/trees
can be seen from each individual houses. The complex
is planned in grid street pattern with a main wide road
upon which off shoot leads to smaller roads of five
meter width, upon which all the entrances to individual
houses are placed so that there is a distinct demarcation
of spaces for vehicular movement with the main road
remaining relatively free. The overall housing units
from along the street allows alternate relief of built
mass and projection of green areas. The social organization
of space as fundamental unifying element of the neighborhood
as an urban image. All the varieties of housing units,
targeted to different levels of population are designed
to fulfill the physical, psychological, functional,
technical and legal needs of its occupants. The complex
consisting of clusters of housing and row houses speak
on individual spatial language yet all are very closely
linked to form a cohesive urban function. The outlooks
of the different units are aesthetically very elegant,
which is achieved by the juxtaposition of flat and sloped
roof. They are very pleasing with its modern look, balancing
the natural settings of the surrounding.
