Location : Garden City, Bahria Town, Islamabad
Size : 1500 Sq. Yards / 3 Kanal
Scope of Work : Architectural Design + Construction
This Residence is designed on a D-shaped plot. RKS appreciates a challenging site to design building structures. Extensive Site analysis was carried out to choose the best possible location as well as the orientation of the spaces on site. Neighbourhood context and open views further dictated the angle of the residence.
Efficient planning was carried out inorder to decrease the building footprint by as much as possible. As a result, ⅔ of the plot is saved for the Garden space.
Internal spaces are kept well lit with the use of large windows and skylights. Double heighted spaces bring in a sense of openness.
A courtyard is also introduced towards the end of the main hallway. This can been seen the moment one enters the Building through the main door.
