ARCHITECTURE<br />

NSI was operating its activities through a rented<br />

building at Jhamsikhel since its establishment. In<br />

the year 2009, NSI planned to build its own head<br />

office in Sanepa. To achieve this goal NSI first<br />

conducted a design competition between few of the<br />

reputed architectural firms based in Kathmandu.<br />

John Sanday Associates Pvt. Ltd. (JSA) was one<br />

of the selected architectural firms for the design<br />

competition. JSA won the design competition and<br />

was therefore awarded the design and supervision<br />

contract.<br />

The design reflected the Nepali Style building<br />

accommodating the requirement of modern<br />

office facilities. The spaces were planned to<br />

accommodate the extensive requirements that<br />

included offices, meeting rooms, a training hall and<br />

a courtyard space in addition to other associated<br />

services like basement parking, roof top dining<br />
