Residential architecture

House design in DHA Lahore

A good house starts with the plot. Here is how we approach residential design in DHA Lahore for the most common plot sizes, and what to think about before you begin. In DHA Lahore a marla is commonly counted as 225 sq ft, so a 10 marla plot is about 2,250 sq ft and a kanal about 4,500 sq ft.

5 marla house design

On a compact plot, every square foot matters. The art is in efficient planning: a clear layout, good natural light through well-placed openings, smart storage and a facade that feels generous despite its size.

  • Efficient room planning and circulation
  • Light wells and carefully placed windows
  • Parking and entrance designed together
  • Built-in storage and joinery

10 marla house design

The 10 marla plot is among the most popular in DHA Lahore. It allows a comfortable family home with a proper lounge, dining, bedrooms with attached baths and often a small lawn or courtyard.

  • Separate family and guest zones
  • Double-height spaces and skylights where suitable
  • Front and rear outdoor space
  • Contemporary, classical or mixed styles

1 kanal house design

A kanal plot gives room for a true statement home: generous living spaces, a considered approach and landscaped gardens, a pool and covered outdoor living. Here the relationship between building and garden becomes part of the design.

  • Large living and entertaining spaces
  • Private family wing and guest wing
  • Gardens, pool and outdoor lounge
  • Basement and services planning

2 kanal and larger residences

On larger plots we plan the whole composition: arrival, the house itself, gardens, pool, service areas and staff quarters. Architecture, interior and landscape are designed together so the property reads as one.

Styles

Our residential work ranges from clean modern and contemporary homes to classical and brick-clad designs. We shape the style around how you live, not the other way around. Browse our projects for examples.
