Covered Hall Design

Pokhara University

Project idea

This project was launched by Asian Paints Nepal in 2017 with the scope to re- structure the one and only covered hall in Nepal. As a developing country there is very little progress in sports sector which result to poor architectural sports design. Thus with the idea to create a new unique covered hall keeping in mind about the global sports all this design was initiated.

Project description

The main scope of this project is to visualise how the sports hub has been changed from past. Even the football stadium we see have been drastically changed. This project is small project with capacity of only 2000 spectators but meeting all the international standard which can be icon in Nepalese history to promote architecture.
