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.

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.
