Mixed-use residence, Kalanki Kalanki, Kathmandu

Mixed-use residence, Kalanki

A house with commercial ground in Kalanki — living above a working street, planned to local plot and code.

This is a common Kathmandu type and usually a bad one: shop below, family above, both compromised. The Kalanki mixed-use residence is an attempt to keep the street active and the house quiet on a tight plot.
