Most of these rooms are inserted into buildings already standing, so the plan has to earn its space: the Balkumari kitchen is set out as a working run with storage and a window, the Balkot living floor holds sitting, dining and kitchen as one family floor rather than three leftover boxes, and the Nakhipot apartment takes a Lalitpur developer shell and gives it storage a household can use. Workplaces answer the same test — Chitrakala in Thapathali puts desks where the light reaches a deep commercial floor, Candle Craft Academy in Thapagaun carries making and storage behind a front visitors can walk into, and the Usee store in BG Mall, Gongabu has to hold its own in a corridor of competing shops.
