About Me

I am an ambitious architect dedicated to crafting innovative, sustainable designs that resonate with both users and their surroundings. My commitment lies in leveraging my expertise to produce impactful architectural solutions, while thriving within a collaborative team environment where I can both contribute meaningfully and continue to grow professionally.

Professional Experience

At Sthapit Architects (2021–2022), I gained valuable project experience and sharpened my drafting, visualization, and rendering skills. At Archivitus Design Studio (Feb–Jul 2024), I handled 2D planning, site supervision, municipal approvals, and client coordination. Now at Nidal Engineering (2025), I manage municipal submissions and project documentation as a BIM Architect.

STADIUM DESIGN

Project - 5th Year Thesis

The international football stadium in Janakpur, Nepal, with 40,000-spectator capacity designed following international guide of FIFA with features of parametric architecture inspired by the country’s diverse geology, climate, and biodiversity. It blends elements from the Terai, hill, and mountain regions, symbolizing unity and inclusiveness.

The curvilinear design, influenced by soothing alpha waves, creates a serene and inviting atmosphere for athletes and spectators.

Concept Development

The process begins with developing a basic concept, which lays the foundation for planning. This concept evolves through various stages, ultimately leading to zoning, where specific regulations and land-use categories are defined. Ensuring the organized and efficient use of land, aligning with the initial vision and objectives set during the concept phase.

Building forms are shaped by the diverse land structures in Nepal.

Green Sanitation Design Challenge

The Society of Nepalese Architects launched a social initiative through an architectural design competition for a new public toilet in Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City (DSMC). This project, born from a collaboration between DSMC and SONA, focused on the site adjacent to the Municipality Building and Dhangadhi Park, which measured 34.30m by 30.5m. The existing public toilet was dismantled to make way for the new facility. The site’s GPS coordinates were 28°42’24.44”N, 80°35’4.88”E. The new design needed to incorporate parking requirements for the municipality and feature sustainable elements to ensure the toilet was self-sustaining.
