OUR APPROACH
We shape spaces and unlock the possibilities within them.
Building in Nepal demands precision. From complex site constraints and seismic resilience to local municipal codes and neighborhood character, every detail carries weight. We integrate architectural vision and structural engineering into a single, cohesive process designed to meet those demands head-on.
NBC / ISCode-informed designKATHMANDUGrounded by context, driven by purpose
Selected concepts / 25 studies
An exploration
of possibility.
25 adaptable study concepts spanning compact city houses, Newari fusion, commercial buildings, structural systems and interiors.
No matching concepts. Try a different style or plot size.
Illustrative concepts. Final design and costs depend on the site and specification.

QUICK PLANNING TOOL
Explore your
budget range.
Adjust the built-up area and finish level to see an indicative construction budget. This is a planning aid only; drawings, specifications, location and a soil investigation determine the actual estimate.

Structural engineering
Confidence
By design.
Structural clarity.
Architectural freedom.
We bring analytical rigour and practical detailing to buildings shaped by Nepal’s terrain, urban conditions and seismic demands.
Discuss your structure ↗
Grounded in the site.
Foundation decisions informed by building loads, ground conditions and the surrounding context.
Connected as a system.
Frames, walls and floor systems coordinated around a continuous, considered load path.
Resolved in the detail.
Reinforcement, anchorage and connections developed for the adopted seismic design provisions.
Engineering expertise
Precision at every scale.
From the behaviour of the whole building to the resolution of a single connection, our work brings design intent and structural performance together.
STRUCTURAL SERVICES
Analysis & building behaviour
A coordinated analytical model brings gravity loads, lateral actions and the proposed framing system into one design workflow.
Explore the structural model
- Structural idealisation, load cases and combinations
- Modal behaviour, torsion and inter-storey drift review
- Member forces, reactions and design coordination
STRUCTURAL SERVICES
Foundations & retaining systems
Ground conditions and neighbouring structures inform the foundation approach, especially on constrained or sloping sites.
Explore ground engineering
- Foundation selection informed by geotechnical findings
- Bearing, settlement and retaining-system assessment
- Coordination of basement walls, drainage and excavation requirements
STRUCTURAL SERVICES
Steel structures & connections
Efficient framing for longer spans, roof systems and commercial spaces, with attention to how members connect and transfer forces.
Explore steel design
- Roof trusses, bracing and steel framing layouts
- Connection, base-plate and anchorage design
- Fabrication drawing coordination and erection considerations
STRUCTURAL SERVICES
Assessment & retrofit planning
An evidence-led review of existing buildings helps identify concerns and define an appropriate strengthening scope.
Explore existing structures
- Review of available drawings and site observations
- Recommendations for material testing and investigation
- Strengthening options, constructability and intervention sequencing
Structural studies
See the structure.
Open a rendered study of the framing, foundation or lateral system. These visuals illustrate concepts rather than project-specific designs.
Coordinated delivery
From the first model
to site observations.
- Define the brief
Review the site, available soil information, building use and architectural intent.
- Analyse & coordinate
Develop the framing and analytical model, then coordinate structural requirements with the design team.
- Detail & document
Prepare structural drawings, reinforcement details and design documentation for the agreed scope.
- Support construction
Provide agreed site observations and respond to structural queries during execution.
