This document summarizes the rehabilitation of an existing Gurukul site in Chyasal, Lalitpur, Nepal. The site zoning concept divides the site into public, semi-public, and private zones. The massing concept uses a central courtyard and surrounding blocks to create a hierarchy of spaces within the site. The master plan and floor plans were designed based on activity intensity and space usage over time to maximize site responsiveness.

Noise from roads and nearby halls.
Buffering done by vegetation and
building.
Community accessible zone
provided which sits on higher part of
site with other blocks below the
creating hierarchy.
