A Home Around a Pool
Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
Interior Renovation, Built
30,000 Sq. Ft.
This home is for a ceramist and a painter. The couple wished to have spaces in which they could each create their art in a specific and solitary way. As a design strategy, the home is divided into a studio and living unit. A screened courtyard in the middle allows for ample light and cross ventilation. It serves as an interstitial space that separates but also connects the two sections of the home.
KPS Phase I - Malir
in collaboration with the Treehouse Design Lab: Mariyam Iftikar and Ali Reza Dossal
Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
34,000 sqft
Inspired by the Malir sky, the first phase is designed as a pair of blue volumes that blend with the surrounding landscape. Spaces are scaled to be comfortable for children, while allowing for movement, and fun connections. The building is divided into two blocks connected by two bridges. The project has employed passive and active sustainable measures. Double masonry walls on the southern and eastern facade act as insulation. The project is self sufficient in energy by use of solar power.
KPS Phase II - Malir
in collaboration with Saifullah Sami Architects: Saifullah Sami
Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
68,000 sqft
The second phase of the school is designed as a series of playful volumes meant to inspire and create a variety of interstitial spaces. Bridges and courtyards become places for gathering, learning and conversation. The formation of the inner court is inspired by the surrounding Malir stream. A series of winding planter beds and trees are placed to create a space that is intimate and comfortable for play.
