HNG architects and engineers, an architecture firm in Nepal, on site in Kathmandu

About HNG

Engineering depth, applied to your home.

Our Story

Every wall, window and doorway, placed with intent.

For 17 years, the team behind HNG has designed and built homes where every wall, window and doorway is placed with intent.

As the construction wing of Doric Villa Engineering Consultancy, known for preparing Detailed Project Reports for bridges, roads, parks and public buildings for government bodies, HNG brings the same engineering rigour to homes, villas, hotels, resorts, schools, shopping malls and commercial buildings.

Our architects, engineers and environmental specialists work as one team, from the first sketch to the final handover.

Our Approach

Sustainable. Vastu-aligned. Precise.

Sustainable design

We orient each building for daylight and cross-ventilation, specify local and durable materials, and plan for rainwater, insulation and solar where they make sense. The result is green building in Nepal that is comfortable in every season and cheaper to run for decades.

Vastu

Vastu is built into our plans from the first sketch, never added afterwards. Orientation, entrances, the kitchen, puja room, bedrooms and staircases are placed with care, and we explain every decision so you understand your home.

Precision

Our structural engineer designs to the Nepal National Building Code’s seismic requirements, our geotechnical engineer studies the ground, and our Construction Lead checks the work against the drawings at every stage, before it is covered up.

The Doric Villa Connection

Two Firms. One Standard of Engineering.

Doric Villa Engineering Consultancy was registered in Kathmandu in 2009 to serve Nepal’s public sector. HNG was created as its private-sector wing, so homeowners and businesses can draw on the same engineers, the same standards and the same attention to detail.
