Shapes and Spaces
Shapes and Spaces is a development house in Karachi. We acquire the site, design the residence, build it, furnish it, and release it complete to a single owner. Architecture, interiors and construction sit under one roof, which is why the idea a house starts with survives to the end of it.
Each residence is built around one spatial move — a suspended room, a carved void, a courtyard the house folds around. Everything after that is measured against it. Materials are chosen for how they age rather than how they photograph: stone with movement, timber with grain, metal allowed to darken. The houses are modern in form and warm in substance, and they are meant to be lived in for a very long time.
We build a small number of houses at a time, in DHA and the neighbourhoods around it.
