Barsha Poudel
Hi! I am Barsha Poudel. For me, design is in the way light enters a room, the way a bench invites you to pause, or how a space makes you feel without saying a word. This subtle interplay between space and experience is what excites me and drives my passion for design.
I have a strong interest in design that brings together community, sustainability, and the relationship between people and nature. Therefore, for my final project as an interior design student, I have reimagined the North and South Rotundas as community hubs, one for growing, the other for gathering both connected by a revived tunnel beneath the River Clyde.

The Grow & Gather Domes
The Grow and Gather Domes are multifunctional spaces designed within the historic Rotundas, focusing on urban farming, community engagement, and sustainable practices. The Grow Dome features areas for cultivating fresh produce and hosting educational workshops, while the Gather Dome provides spaces for communal dining and social interaction. The two buildings are connected by the tunnel beneath the River Clyde, which serves as roots of the concept, a transitional journey between the domes. Together, the Grow and Gather Domes aim to promote environmental awareness, healthy living, and social connection at the heart of the city.
