Private residences, second homes, pavilions and cultural buildings. Composed for climate first, drawn at full detail, and built at studio pace. Our buildings are designed for the way a doorway softens, the way light learns the room — for the second decade, not the first photograph.
From feasibility to handover. Single-family houses, urban infill, country estates. We design what defines a family — quietly, exactly, for the long horizon.
Country houses, hill stations, beach retreats. Built for the seasons spent away — patient details, low maintenance, careful return.
Garden buildings, exhibition pavilions, summer rooms. Small-footprint, large-presence buildings that anchor a site or punctuate a garden.
Galleries, libraries, study spaces, mosques. Our cultural projects begin with a season of listening — to the institution, the site, the audience that will inherit the room.
Listed buildings, old houses, conservation works. Patient interventions that respect the building's earlier authors while making it inhabitable for the next century.
Hot-arid Punjab, humid coastal Sindh, cool northern valleys — every site has a climate, and every climate needs its own architecture. Passive-first, mechanically-supported.
A season of listening. Long lunches with the client. Site visits before drawings. We learn the rhythms of the people we're designing for, and the rhythms of the site they've chosen.
Sketches, models, three concept directions. We test each against site, climate, brief. The client picks one, and we develop. Always tested against the second decade, not the first day.
120 to 180 sheets at 1:50. Joinery, clerestory, the soft fall of the floor. Specifications. Structural and services coordination. Tender packages. Costs verified, decisions made.
A small, skilled team on site. Weekly site visits by the project architect. Specifications honoured, detail held close. The drawing becomes the room. We are present, not nominal.
The building doesn't end at handover. We return at 6 months, 1 year, every year after. We adjust. We watch the building become a home — and document its second decade.
A short, paid feasibility before we sign a full commission. You leave with a sketch book, a costed massing, and an honest answer.
Concept through site administration. Drawings, specifications, weekly site presence, post-occupancy stewardship in year one.
Clients building across Pakistan. Architect-of-record, permits, consultant coordination, monthly site reports.
For a typical private residence at 4,000 — 12,000 sqft, expect 22 to 30 months from first lunch to handover — roughly six months of design, four months of detailing & tender, then 14 — 22 months on site. We don't promise faster, because faster usually means worse. We do, however, run a tight site programme.
Yes. Active commissions in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. We work as design architect partnered with a local AOR, or — increasingly — as the AOR ourselves where we hold the relevant licence. We make at least four site visits during construction; we don't do remote-only.
A small pavilion, a 2,000 sqft refurbishment, a single-room intervention in a heritage building. We don't have a minimum size — we have a minimum care threshold. If a small project deserves the studio's full attention, we'll take it.
Fees depend on the scope, site and complexity of each commission — every project is unique. The feasibility study is a fixed, paid first step; from there we share a clear, staged fee proposal. Tell us about your brief to begin.
Yes. Every commission has the principal as design lead from listening through handover. We are a small studio by design — typically two architects per project, plus consultants. Your project will not be handed to a junior in month four.
Most of our recent residences include integrated automation — lighting, climate, acoustics, security. We design these at the architecture stage, not bolted on later. See our Interior Design service for the full smart-home offer.
We accept three to four new commissions per year. The studio's capacity is deliberately limited — we'd rather build five quiet houses well than fifteen loud ones quickly. We currently have three openings for 2026.
Year-one stewardship is included in every commission — we return at six months and again at twelve, document changes, and adjust anything that needs adjusting. After that, we offer optional annual stewardship visits for a small retainer. We've never lost a building from our memory.
We respond personally to every brief, within seven days. Tell us about the trees, the climate, the room you want to wake up in.
