Design Dissected | #43 | Ft. Rashid Rasheed | The Fold Residence

[@asad-kc8zf]

Finally some Pakistani architect gets the concept of understatement. I have a concern regarding heating and cooling. Pakistan has two seasons, 10 months of heat( blazer in July Mr Rasheed ?) plus some humidity and 2 months of some mild/cool weather. On the ground floor bath room , would have given a bit more privacy to the toilet area , may be some frosted glass. In bathroom upstairs would have pushed the WC at the back. Also Pakistanis love rain shower, but one stuck to the ceiling at 12 ft plus would be pretty useless with hot water. It will cool down by the time it touches you. Thank God no jacuzzis! There are plenty of open and eating spaces on the main floor and if you need to use the huge dinning room down stairs , catering will do. Finally Mr. Rasheed knows what's he talking about given the fact that the host was obsessed with the floors. Nice place.

The houses cannot all be perfect. The experts should also mention some shortcomings in design and execution. The visit should cover the whole house; no spaces should be left uncovered.

Synergy as pointed out between the client and the architect is crucial for making a project successful like this.

Sir Big mistake ye hai k apne outdoor garden visit nhe Kiya

[@faisalhussain341]

So amazing.

[@maryamsays]

Dinning is in the basement but there's no kitchen there which is quite strange

[@autobots_1213]

It also seemed strange to me but i think there is lift so it can be compensable

And second floor b nhe dekhaya

[@TahiraMalik-q7z]

I love every bit of interior. each piece, color scheme, selection of furniture shows the esthetics of the owners, but architectural mistakes are noticeable too. for example, how would you bring food on dining table downstairs, and in my opinion, elevator block should not be in the middle of that open space. it gives you a Blocked view when you enter.
