For the Shazminay Durrani Residence, I designed a 10,000 sq. ft. home on a 500 sq. yard plot in DHA Phase VI, Karachi, tailored for a family of six. The design revolves around a single-unit structure with a central courtyard, blending indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly.
The house includes 4 bedrooms, a drawing room, two family lounges, an open kitchen, and dining areas. The façade uses concrete and vertical wooden slats for a modern yet warm feel, with large windows that flood the interior with natural light, creating a bright and open atmosphere. The use of clean lines and natural materials ensures the home remains functional yet inviting.
Design Approach
The design process for the Shazminay Durrani Residence focused on blending contemporary aesthetics with functional design principles. The central courtyard serves as the heart of the home, ensuring cross-ventilation and natural light throughout the interior spaces. The integration of large windows and an open floor plan enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor areas, making the home feel spacious and welcoming.
Concrete and wooden elements dominate the façade, symbolizing a balance between modernity and warmth. Vertical slats provide privacy while maintaining an airy ambiance. The thoughtful selection of materials and attention to detail reflect the unique needs of the family, creating a harmonious living experience.
