Sagar Chitrakar
Architect
Sagar Chitrakar is a Nepalese architect based in Kathmandu.
After completing a Bachelor’s in Architecture from Pulchowk Campus in 2011, he has worked for social, humanitarian, and commercial development projects in Nepal with firms such as Hariyo Chowk – Sattya, Habitat for Humanity Nepal, and Mathema & Partners. Following the devastating April 2015 earthquake, Sagar joined ABARI as a senior architect and worked in several reconstruction projects across Nepal.
In search of new challenges, in 2016, Sagar took a one-way flight to Ubud to work for Alexis Dornier. During his 3.5 years with the company, he had the opportunity to work with vernacular typologies and heritage while leading design projects in Indonesia, Singapore, Dubai, and Germany.
With a view to focusing on design explorations using local materials and craftsmanship in Nepal, in 2019, Sagar established STUDIO NEBA – an architecture and design studio, which strives to create diversity, forms, and structures while honoring the local landscape and heritage. ⠀⠀
