Project R Design Studio

Project: Villa S
Area: 22,295 sq.ft
Location: Gulberg Greens, Islamabad, Pakistan. 
Seeking a more “green” and welcoming design, the initial study considered building the house with Cross Laminated Timber, where the finish and structure would be integrated. It resulted in the use of concrete slats that mimicked charred wooden boards on the facade.

The entire house receives abundant natural light and interacts harmoniously with the gardens, ensuring a wonderfully airy and sunlit living experience. Thus, constructing a new space to inhabit, on another level and with panoramic views.

Project: The Pox
Area: 18,000 sq.ft
Location: Islamabad. 
The project came from dialogue and conversation with our clients in search of a refuge space, a broader concept of home. The project is divided into multiple volumes with two main objectives, the first with the intention of inhabiting nature and using it as a privacy filter between them. The separations increase depending on the program they contain, the library of the living room, and the kitchen even more until the bedrooms are completely separated.

The displacement of the volumes creates transition spaces and courtyards. This is to provide specific views for the use of each space, keeping in context the topography of the land.
