As the series of lockdown continued throughout the nation, the reception block of Silinge Health and Birthing Centre was slowly but surely coming along. Soon after the completion of the roof ring beams, metal work commenced on site that support our elegant and characteristic butterfly roofs. As the name suggest, the two roof surfaces slope down from opposing sides to form a valley in the middle resembling the wings of a butterfly.

Eucalyptus timber planks sit on top of the metal frames with a layer of waterproof insulation before finishing off with slate tiles. This carefully designed light and well insulated roof structure caps off the Rat Trap Bond brick walls ensuring acoustic and thermal comfort for the users.

Now we aim to finish off the interior details of building before the center is up and running.

While we were working on improving the ICIMOD headquarters’ landscape back in 2018, we could not ignore the presence of an ugly structure towards the entry serving its sole purpose of connection to the underground parking.Former DG David Molden requested us to come up with an appropriate design that would rather enhance the new landscape.

Building on to the architectural language we had carefully developed with our copper clad welcome pavilion sharing the same central axis as it, we were keen to use a light structure with roof in copper.This hybrid multi-functional node serves as a drop off for public visitors, protects the ICIMOD community and other users while its integrated Sal wood timber seating makes for a great spot for conversations /lunch or to simply marvel at the compound’s landscape. The three stepped butterfly roof clad in copper, which follows the inclination of the steps below, adds elegance to this transparent connection and doubles up as a water harvesting feature during monsoon.

The Art + History of the Mid century Roof-line: Butterfly... While many credit architect William Krisel with the creation of the butterfly roof, his credit belongs only to bringing the design to the masses through his 1957 neighborhood in Palm Springs, Calif. Illustration by Christian Musselman. An artistic representation of the modernist spirit, the butterfly roof appears as the wings of its namesake bug mid-flight. The butterfly roof is simple in its beauty and functionality. It is as if the low-slung roof was pressed down at its apex, tipping the usually downward-angled roof up towards the sky. Aside from offering incredible mid-mod curb appeal, this inverted style creates space for windows set high along the roofline. The unusual placement allows copious amounts of natural light into the house without compromising on the privacy of its dwellers. While many credit architect William Krisel with the creation of the butterfly roof, his credit belongs only to bringing the design to the masses through his 1957 neighborhood in Palm Springs, Calif. The first sketch and planned butterfly roof was designed by architect Le Corbusier in 1930. That project never took flight, and architect Antonin Raymond created a similar home to Le Corbusier’s design in Japan. Marcel Breuer was then inspired and built the Geller House in Long Island, New York, in 1945.
