AKA was invited by Statsbygg to compete in a limited design competition for the Scandinavian residence complex at the diplomatic enclave in Islamabad.

Statsbygg is the Norwegian government's building commissioner, property manager and developer.

Lead Design : .shamsulain

Enclosed is AKAs concept proposal and a vision statement for the Scandinavian Residence complex.

Horizon Hill Heights is a luxury hi rise residential apartment building planned for DHA Phase 1 Rwp-Isl.
The project is conceived as 2 monolithic apartment blocks housing 150 apartment units with shared amenities on ground and first floor and individual cores for the apartment levels with horizon to horizon views of the DHA ravine and beyond.
The splitting of the mass into 2 towers create interstitial space opportunities with private decks and balconies overlooking the masterplan and beyond.
Spacious apartments have been designed as an alternative to the current market allocated square footage trends. The apartments are designed for immediate occupancy rather than investments opportunities to create a thriving residential community complete with amenities such as gym, spa, ample parking, mart and a restaurant.

A family home in the style of minimal modern-vernacular architecture. A natural material palette complementing white and grey hues that brings forth a grounded yet bold and dynamic form of architecture.
The spaces are designed with the sensitivity of existing
landscape and views with fenestrations and terraces opening up to the panaromic view of Margalla Hills and towards the creatively designed landscape within the site. The resulting form is derived from a spatial journey that curates the daily activity of its dwellers.

Corporate Tower, Saddar Rawalpindi.
Situated in the commercial heart of the metropolis, this iconic tower is a mixed use building featuring a mall, food Court, under ground parking and corporate offices. The tower is a glass and steel facade with the glass peeling off the facade as we approach the street level to provide a custom sheltered experience for the cafe users. The tower aims to bridge the gap between the availability of high end office spaces for commercial headquarters and offering a high street fashion experience.

ABSTRACT : “A house of Allah inspired by the gardens of paradise and the bounties of nature.”

INTRODUCTION : The site for the project is a 33 kanal parcel of land in the upcoming Phase III of DHA Islamabad as an amenity plot fulfilling the requirement of up to 5000 worshippers for daily, Eid, Jumma and funeral prayers.
The Jamia Masjid takes inspiration from the bounties of nature found our daily surroundings and is based on the garden of eternal bliss.
This perceived environment aims at inner peace and contentment found within spiritual and biophilic environments. Primary elements to instill this environment are water, fig trees, grape vines and olive trees that are planted within the built environment. The distance between the public realm and the spiritual space has been exaggerated by creating extended shaded walkways between them. An attempt has been made to weave nature within the built space to invoke the feelings of a spiritual realm. The Jamia embraces minimalistic yet innovative approach of design by using only the spaces required; not more, nor less. The Jamia masjid encourages educational and community involvement by creating multipurpose spaces such as isolated halls of different sizes and courtyards.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION

The mosque is a community centre that provides the architectural infrastructure for communal prayer, discussion and various community assemblies such as:
religious educational cultural and social.
