Architectural Documentary of Architect Ghayyoor Obaid, Lahore, Pakistan

Banjaiga is proud to present its long-form documentary on Architect Ghayoor Obaid from Lahore, Pakistan.
Practicing as an Architect for more than 32 years, Ghayyoor Obaid has enchanted the industry with his love for innovative spaces while keeping a keen eye on nostalgic elements of life that makes that part of the world-culturally unique. His approach to architecture has a starting point rooted in reflection and contemplation of spatial and structural elements that come together to form a narrative that defies regular conventions and popular vocabulary, often taking its own path, sometimes bordering on the right side of a peaceful architectural rebellion.
In this documentary, we get a unique chance to get close and personal with him for a few days and get to experience his spaces, through his lens. Please share his work with fellow Architects.

My husband said planning to contract our house n I said I don’t want you to build a shelter but I want you to build a home. Where I can feel that I m at home in every corner of it. After watching your show i feel you really enjoy leaving in your home. Every corner is so close to earth air n light.

Music in the background is in such contrast with this open, airy, and balanced infrastructure. It has such a fresh and modern appeal, and tablas in the backdrop completely ruining the experience.

[@UntoldSecrets1]

You guys should improve your SEO. I am from Pakistan , and was searching for references for my home floorplan and constructions since last year, I have watched 100s and 100s of videos but had never came across your channel or video . It would have been nice if I’d watched this before.

Design Hustle, Is Mr. Obaid still working or retired? I have lived in the US for the last 22 years and have been recently frequenting Pakistan. I find the current style of what’s available in Lahore to be too gaudy and over designed to be honest. I will certainly email him, I appreciate the info!

[@fahadahmad4766]

[@DesignHustle]

@@fahadahmad4766 Thank you. I know its difficult to trust sources back home as I am the co-founder of Banjaiga and am based in Switzerland so very familiar with the problems. The concept of Banjaiga was to develop services that people can trust from abroad.
