Aak villa

This villa lies in the Defence Housing Authority (DHA), a posh housing scheme in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. The client's interest was inclined towards a contemporary design scheme. This villa is designed in a minimal contemporary architectural style. 

The main concept of this design focuses on the landscaped views visible from each space. For this purpose large glazing windows are provided. A natural and neutral colour scheme has been adopted for the exterior as well as the interiors.

To highlight some masses, different colours and textures are applied. The front room on the ground floor is cladded with a light grey rough finish of concrete with a horizontal texture. The courtyard on the first floor is given a dark blue tint to enhance the aesthetics of the facade. Windows are topped with walnut wood. The built-up area of this house is 836 sq.m. (11860 sq.ft.).
