Each initiative is driven by a sustainable ethos – an approach that focuses on the impact of urbanization on natural and historical landscapes, especially in Nepal.
Established by Namita and Arun Saraf, our foundation emerges from a longstanding love for the indigenous knowledge of local communities – their ways of life – that are often relegated to the periphery of contemporary discourse. Addressing this asymmetry, our manifesto foregrounds the vitality of such spaces by making them accessible across the globe.
NEXT Centres are design-led interventions for the future
Our Next centers tackle local environmental and social challenges, through immersive education, art, and community engagement. Each centre is anchored by a local champion partner, and is designed to be self-sustaining through its retail, café, and programme revenue.
