Arun complex is a re-purposed mixed used commercial building in Nepalgunj, Nepal. We were invited to design the interior spaces for the project by the client. The project was being developed using fast track delivery method in two phases. Phase I was a clothing store on the second floor, phase II was a restaurant and bar on the third floor.
During our initial visit to Nepalgunj, we analyzed the site, discussed constraints with the client, grasped their objectives, and identified the business model and target customers. We brainstormed, creating minimalist shopping spaces to showcase merchandise and enhance the user experience. Our process included developing a BIM model for efficient exploration of design options and finding the ideal solution.
