What are the specific aspects within your future house that you would like to invest more in?

Seems like, at least from my point of view, there’s a race to build bigger and taller houses. People invest so much in constructing their homes that they overlook the possibility of allocating half that amount to enhance the comfort within their houses. Arka ko choice ho, however I can’t help but notice this trend in our country.

  1. Resarch well about the lighting and plan to get the most sunlight in the ground floor and balconies.

    Natural light >>> and also being able to stay ample amounts under the sun

  2. Accessibility should be an important aspect.

    1. Reduce steps, no more sunk floors in drawing or elevated dining rooms.
    2. Bathroom in same level, no steps up or down.
    3. Try to live in the same floor, no more Puja Room in the top floor, store below the stairs, etc..
    4. Water tap in the roof verandah!
    5. Better security features and camera which can not be reached from the ground level.

  3. If it counts ghar ko waripari big aagan ani each side different stuff. Ghar dui talle but taller. Kitchen would be big and few extra rooms cause relative ayi rako huncha basnu bela bela ma. Proper security room and atleast 2 to 3 secret room only few can acess

  4. Energy conservation when it comes to heating and cooling the house.

    Hot air rises, cool air sinks. If only people could understand this and the importance of proper ventilation.

    Almost all the houses are made from Brick and concrete. The house gets colder during winter and hotter during summer.

  5. Jagga Kati cha , ani kata cha. Kathmandu Mai kochinu cha bhaney k bhannu. Family katro cha, future planning k cha, baccha pauney stithi, bihey huney haru, Didi bahini bihey garney nagarney wala… Paila ta number of people living in house for next 10 to 15 years sochnu, ani start thinking about the needs.. Naya system ta haldai jaana milccha jagga thapdai Jana mildaina, tyei bhayera talla thapchan.
    So, think about relocating to place where like minded people live, who like the living space as.you do, kina bhaney aafu le matra jagga chodera aru le chepdiney bhaye ni faida chaina.
    Ani 2 story house 22 feet x 35 feet maa 4 wota bedroom, garage living kitchen dining atcha, jagga 27 feet X 50 feet basically 4 aana .. Ghar 2.25 aana. Ramro comfortable, easy to maintain and clean Ghar bancha.
    DM if you need more consultation

  6. No tall house at all. Large area would definitely be my first priority. Large compound and a small house looks the best and cozy as well.
    Warm lights everywhere. And plants. Lots and lots of plants.

    I don’t know if I could ever afford it but a swimming pool would be just amazinggg.

  7. Some things I learnt from my current house,

    Hire an interior designer, its worth it.

    More and bigger windows.

    Spaces for built-in appliances.

    Bedrooms above, others downstairs.

    Built-in closets.

    Don’t cheap out on tech.

  8. Sustainable concept ma. Not a tall house rather a wide house, 2–2.5 talla jati

    wide rooms – 5 BHK bhaye pugccha tara with tall windows and terrace with ample sunlight.

    Exterior traditional nepali house jasto, red bricks and brown lining ma

    Must have a front lawn and back garden.

    estai estai

  9. About a year ago my mom slipped in the roof and kind of fractured her hip which has affected her mobility immensely. Our current house is 31/2 storeys and the kitchen being on the top floor, she is compelled to use the stairs which is not comfortable for her. With old age the issue will only get worse so I was thinking of building a house in future that is accessible. I even got a app where I can draft some floor plan (Yeah, I can be like that sometimes). Anyways my priorities were:

    1. Big plot of land and single storey spacious house (3 bed 2 bath maybe).
    2. Everything on the same floor level (not even an inch of elevated or sunken floor)
    3. Spacious bathroom and hallways with sturdy handles (incase anyone becomes wheelchair bound)
    4. Proper ventilation/insulation?
    5. Solar panels to be energy efficient
    6. Hot/cold water
    7. Smart lightings and appliances, security doors and cameras.
    8. Floor length windows/ skylights for natural lights
    9. Non-brick Internal walls (if possible)
    10. Ample storage space
    11. Kitchen chimneys?

  10. Plan extremely well the different size of each room and how well they rhyme with each other.

    Plan ahead for any future wiring, the tech types, ethernet etc. And would advise to have pipes and electricity wires that can be more easily accessible.

  11. As a civil engineer, deeply interested in designing a better home:

    1. Majority of openings should be oriented to South direction. or mainly Living, dinning, kitchen and bedrooms, and other utility such as bathrooms, staircase could get away with getting less sunlight.
    2. Good thermal and sound insulations.
    3. Relation with the surrounding houses and align your house properly for privacy or for connection with the outdoor (like a park or trees).
    4. If there are space constraints and all the floors could not get light throughout the day, utilizing courtyard or skylights.
    5. Looking at the flow of air throughout the house and thinking of cross ventilation.
    6. Looking at the flow of people inside the house and dividing the space into private and public spaces which connect accordingly.
    7. Not wasting a lot of spaces in corridors, staircase and using unique design for space constraints.
    8. Having an interior with functionality and storage in mind. There should be storage and function in each space of the house, like shoe storage right after entering, places to store your vacuum cleaner, brooms, other items that generally don’t have a home. Take special care for kitchen and storage.
    9. Electrical outlets and water outlets in each 4 walls of the room and give good care to lighting as well.
    10. Using various forms of lighting and not the traditional tube lights and other 2 -3 extra lights. Lights at top of kitchen counter, various forms of lighting that serves various purpose like ambient lighting, accent and task.
    11. Have large windows that is double glazed and insulating.

    Aaile yeti nai aayo dimag mah, aru add gardai garamla.

    Yo concepts use garyo vane, sano area mah ni comfortable ra ramro ghar bancha, even on 900sqft land. I would suggest watching “buildofy” youtube channel. India ko ho, hamro values milcha plus there are houses for various sizes, you can take some inspirations from it.

    DM if you want me to check your floor plans. Others are also encouraged.
