Paatis are reminders of a benevolent society who built these small rest houses across the Kathmandu Valley for weary travelers. Today, these urban architectural archetypes remain an essential focal point for their communities, in use as resting, public meeting, and religious celebration spaces. Since the earthquake in 2015, many are in desperate need of repair and revitalization. This project carefully restores the 100-yearold carved wooden columns and religious insets of the central Paati in Thecho, while enveloping it in a new life. The new building pays tribute to traditional Newari architecture through its angles and rhythms of the structure and wood detailing, while treating the concrete water infrastructure as a modern sculpture carved and molded for different uses.
