Careers & culture

Practicing architecture at D Sketchbook

We are continually seeking curious architects, structural computational engineers, interior designers, and resident site supervisors who care deeply about the built environment of Nepal.

Our studio operates as a collaborative laboratory where young designers gain direct hands-on experience across complex real-world commissions, from seismic analysis and municipal code compliance to high-craft joinery and on-site concrete pours.

Inquire about open positions
  • Direct site involvement

    Every architect at D Sketchbook participates in active construction supervision to understand real-world building physics.

  • Cross-disciplinary dialogue

    Architects and structural engineers work side-by-side, breaking down traditional consultant silos.

  • Contextual responsibility

    We believe contemporary architecture in Nepal must respect regional heritage and climate rather than imitating foreign trends.
