Got a call from a client for whom I’d designed an office exactly 5 years ago. He’s purchased new premises in one of the old buildings near Fountain (Hutatma Chowk) and it has a ceiling that’s 16 feet (5m) high! The space is just a plain old rectangle but the arches on the sides add a lot of interest.

Unfortunately, the previous owners have done some “work” on the old door frames and I doubt I can salvage any of the original look now. There is a long verandah – a little more than 3 feet (1m) wide on the entire Western face – and it has some nice ironwork.
