ConceptThe posture of prayer

MaterialWhite render · Jali screens

Designed for a contemporary Muslim family, this home translates the spiritual posture of prayer into physical volumes. Descending massing prioritises grounding and humility; the dominance of white symbolises a return to fitra — natural purity — while intricate geometric screens pay tribute to Islamic heritage, modulating light and privacy across a secure domestic inner world.

SiteKirtipur, Kathmandu

ConceptNepal's layered social structure

A convention centre whose spatial organisation mirrors Nepal's layered social structure. Welcoming, disciplined, and expressive zones are woven together through layered courtyards beneath a flowing sculptural canopy — a chautara and tree spaces anchor the public realm, while brick, glass, lattice, stone, and concrete alternate for visual play without overheating.

ConceptThe banyan tree

ProgrammeClassrooms · Hostels · Canteen

A school that welcomes everyone under its canopy — accommodating students of all backgrounds, emphasising equality and inclusivity. The design grows from the banyan tree: leaves as diversity in uniformity, branches spreading outward as growth, the canopy as central shaded space, and roots as a network of supports.

Octagonal bamboo pavilion built around a living tree — Bamboo pavilion — live tree core

A multi-generational hub drawing the community inward from all eight cardinal and ordinal directions — reimagining the traditional chautari not as a rest stop but as a living "social compass." A live tree serves as the spiritual core, bamboo columns carry rainwater to a storage cistern, and the rhythmic roofline peaks like a mountain range. The modular octagon expands radially, transforming a private shelter into a large-scale community event space.

Finding the Pink is a psychological landscape: a black cage of depression and anxiety surrounding a mix of pink (positivity) and blue (negativity) — a reminder that we aren't passive victims of our environment, but active participants in our own healing.
