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. ⠀⠀

Samir Basi

Architect

Samir Basi joined the studio in 2020 and has been a part of numerous projects throughout the year. He has played a role of a team leader and has proven to be an integral part of the company.

Somehow he manages to travel everyday, back and forth for hours from Bhaktapur to other side of the town, winding through the traffic and dusts, but still manages to bring the enthusiasm and humor within the team.

He is also an avid traveler and has been to the remotest of the mountains.

Harry and Lia

Harry was found abandoned in front of the office. He is shy and careful about everything around him, but he always wants to be close to people and needs their company.

Lia was found in a cow shed. She is cheerful, playful, and will do anything for food. She sometimes acts like she doesn’t need people, but her fun and lively nature makes her very lovable.
