Landscape Design
Ecological landscape architecture rooted in native Himalayan and Terai biodiversity
We design public parks, resort grounds, urban plazas, and private garden sanctuaries that celebrate indigenous planting palettes, natural topography, and sustainable stormwater management.

Landscape as Living Infrastructure
In our practice, landscape architecture is never treated as mere cosmetic greenery slapped onto finished construction. Landscape is living infrastructure—the porous skin of the earth that regulates groundwater, cools local air temperatures, and connects architecture with its natural horizon.
By selecting indigenous Himalayan and Terai flora, our landscapes age gracefully, requiring minimal chemical fertilizers while attracting local bird and pollinator populations.

How we work
Our process
A disciplined, staged framework ensuring technical rigour from initial brief through to on-site handover.
- 01
Ecological Site Audit
Assessing soil acidity, hydrology, sun exposure, wind patterns, and existing flora.
- 02
Spatial Hardscape & Softscape
Defining circulation trails, outdoor rooms, gathering terraces, and natural buffer belts.
- 03
Botanical Sourcing
Selecting climate-appropriate species that thrive in Nepal's monsoon cycle without excessive artificial watering.
- 04
Technical Detailing & Planting
Engineering permeable joints, retention dams, and supervising nursery supply and planting beds.
