About Me

I am an Architect based in Urlabari, Morang, with a strong foundation in both traditional Nepali architectural heritage and contemporary design principles. My work spans residential, commercial, and cultural projects.

Beyond blueprints, I believe architecture is storytelling — each structure should narrate the aspirations of those who inhabit it. I integrate sustainable practices, local materials, and innovative structural solutions into every design.

Outside the studio, I find inspiration in the eastern Terai landscape, exploring the intersection of nature and the built environment.
